Originally, the Scottish Tartan was a distinction of rank or position. It was not identified by weave but by the number of colours in the weave. If only one colour was used it depicted a servant, two, a farmer rank, three, an officer rank, five, a chieftain, six for a poet, and seven for a Chief. Eventually, clans or families adopted their own tartan, using a range of animal and earth colours which were frequently secret, only known to the weavers of the islands. http://www.infokey.com/hall/tartans.htm Here is a picture of the Royal Stewart tartan: http://www.regiments.org/tradition/tartans/stuartro.htm">http://www.regiments.org/tradition/tartans/stuartro.htm Just for comparison and how very different tartans can be, here is the Black Watch tartan: http://www.calgaryhighlanders.com/tartans.htm">http://www.calgaryhighlanders.com/tartans.htm Aug 24 05, 12:38 AM
