First of all to explain why there are so many tartans, way over 2000 in fact. There are an awful lot of Scottish clans to start with and on top of this each clan can have many different tartans and names associated with it.
Over the last 300 years, tartans have been a part of official dress for some of the most famous regiments throughout the military world! Their respective regimental tartans became undisputedly tied to the very core identity of the soldiers who wear it. Explore the associated regiments below:
Les couleurs d'un tartan peuvent être rendues suivant des nuances variées, ce qui conduit à des variations possibles dans le rendu d'un même tartan. qualifiées de ancien, modernes, weathered, hunting et dress.
Pour expliquer les variations de tartan
Avant 1860, les tissus étaient colorés à l'aide de teintures animales et végétales. Cela permettait d'obtenir les couleurs plus douces typiques des tartans anciens (Ancient), des verts moussus et des bleus ciel, un rouge plus orangé et certains diraient que cela mettait en valeur le motif de manière beaucoup plus efficace, car les contrastes étaient beaucoup plus marqués que dans les tartans modernes (Modern). Le motif reste le même dans toutes les variations d'un même tartan, seules les nuances ou les tons varient.
Après 1860, les teintures chimiques ont remplacé les teintures naturelles animales et végétales et les tartans modernes (Modern) sont nés avec leurs couleurs plus fortes et plus audacieuses. Les verts et bleus doux deviennent vert bouteille et bleu marine, les rouges sont écarlates.

Les tartans modernes (Modern) sont souvent des combinaisons plus subtiles, comme le classique Black Watch Modern.
Avant 1860, les tissus étaient colorés à l'aide de teintures animales et végétales. Cela donnait des couleurs plus douces et plus terreuses, typiques des tartans « Weathered », qui rappellent des couleurs plus audacieuses soumises au vent, à la pluie et au soleil, produisant de magnifiques tons délavés, des verts olive et des bruns, et des bleus très clairs avec des rouges qui sont plus roses que rouges.
Certaines usines appellent les tartans altérés par les intempéries « Muted ».
Les tartans de chasse (Hunting tartans) sont les tartans de camouflage et certains clans n'ont pas ces variations parce qu'ils sont déjà à dominante verte ou brune et n'ont pas besoin d'être modifiés pour se fondre dans les couleurs de la nature. Les tartans Black Watch ou Gunn en sont des exemples, tandis qu'un tartan comme le Fraser est à dominante rouge et n'offrirait pas une grande couverture aux hommes qui partent à la chasse.
Si vous commandez un tartan assorti à un kilt ou à un accessoire existant, n'oubliez pas que, bien que le décor et les couleurs soient identiques, il peut y avoir une légère différence de couleur d'une usine à l'autre. Si vous avez besoin d'une correspondance exacte, nous vous conseillons de commander un échantillon pour vérifier.
Les tartans d'apparat (Dress Tartans) ont été conçus, comme leur nom l'indique, pour les célébrations et les danses des Highlands. Le motif du tartan reste le même, mais la couleur principale est remplacée par du blanc, ou du blanc supplémentaire est ajouté au motif pour lui donner un aspect plus brillant et plus « fantaisiste ». Les Écossais aiment contourner les règles et utilisent parfois du jaune au lieu du fil blanc. C'est de là que viennent les MacLeod Dress Modern et Barclay Dress Modern, qui sont plutôt extravagantes.

The current chief of Clan Stuart is The Most Hon. John Crichton-Stuart, 7th Marquess of Bute. Clan Stewart is an armigerous clan which means that the clan, family or name is registered with the Court of the Lord Lyon, but does not currently have a chief recognised by the Lyon Court.

At one point in time the Stewart's held Edinburgh Castle, arguably the most notable castle they held. Edinburgh Castle is located upon a rock in the centre of Edinburgh. It is thought that the first castle built upon the rock was constructed during the 12th Century, it was primarily used as a Royal Residence base that is until the 17th Century when its main use converted into a military barracks. Research shows that the castle was attacked 26 times throughout its long history, which makes it the most besiged and most attacked places in Great Britain.

Although the Stewarts were principally a Lowland family the name is common throughout the whole of Scotland (and also Ireland), with many offshoots in the Highlands. The family descends from Sir James Stewart of Pierson who was descended from the 4th High Steward of Scotland. For a time they were Lords of Lorn and were of importance in their Western territory. They were Royalists and fought valiantly for the Royal Stewarts. Duncan Stewart, 2nd of Appin, was Chamberlain of the Isles to King James IV. They fought under Montrose at the Battle of Inverlochy, and in the Jacobite army at Sheriffmuir in 1715. During the 1745 Rising the clan served in Prince Charlie's army. The 9th chief sold the estate in 1765.
