Tartans of the Clan Farquharson
Few items are as associated with the Scottish Clans than are tartans.
Yet most of what we know about tartans are not from antiquity but instead are no older than Sir Walter Scott.
There are 5 Clan Farquharson tartans. All of the tartans have an identical sett, or style of lines. The differences lay in the colors that are used. The different colors are used to show the differences in color after continued use and wear of the tartans.
The color progression goes as follows:
Farquharson Modern- Dark rich colors. This is the recognized tartan of the clan, all others are variations of this tartan.
Farquharson Muted- Colors are not quite as dark as the Modern, but still rich.
Farquharson Ancient- Colors are very light in this version. This shows the different colors used and sett very well.
Farquharson Weathered- Colors are faded out almost completely and showing mainly browns
Farquharson Dress- This is based on the Modern tartan with white highlights. This is used for more formal occasions.
