Summary
Description Sutherland (clan) tartan, centred, zoomed out.png |
English:
The usual tartan of Clan Sutherland. Not to be confused with the
Sutherland district tartan and its regimental variants
, which are all just lightened versions of
Black Watch
. The clan tartan is also based on Black Watch, with the "tram track" black over-check patterns simplified, and red and white over-checks added.
This image is not exactly full-sett, and cannot tile horizontally and vertically; this centred and zoomed-out version was created for tabular comparison to other regimental tartans. Scottish Register of Tartans notes on this pattern: "From Vestiarium Scoticum [1829–1834]. The foundation resembles the Black Watch with red and white lines superimposed (Jamie Scarlett MBE). Scottish Tartans Society notes for this tartan don't exactly make sense. 'The earlier date refers to a letter from Gordon Earl of Sutherland instructing Murray of Pulrossie to 'remove the red and white lines from the plaids of the men so as to bring their dress into harmony with that of the other Septs.' This sett is also recorded by Smibert in 1850. Smibert's work lends greater authority to the accuracy of the tartan." [For more information on the Murray of Pulrossie business, see w:en:Clan tartan , under "Earliest evidence".] This is an asymmetric, non-mirroring tartan (full count).
