Colquhoun tartan

The gallery contains 21 pictures.

The tartan

The history of the Colquhouns (west of Loch Lomond) goes back to 1241. After a bloody battle, when in 1603 the MacGregors (east of Loch Lomond) attacked the Colquhouns, enmity between the two clans existed until the 18th century. Colquhoun is a family/clan tartan, which in its present form, was woven by Wilson's of Bannockburn at the beginning of the 19th century and recorded in the firm's pattern books dated 1819.

The kilts

In the gallery, there are two different 5-yard James Morrison kilts, one of them in 13 oz. wool and the other one in leightweight PV from Marton Mills. Both are very fine kilts. Compared to the wool kilt, the PV kilt is a little bit shining, which means a tendency to not always rendering the true colours in photos. The colours of the wool kilt also tend to be brighter.
