 The abbreviated descriptions are intended only to give a general idea 
 of Ground Colors, and the Colors of prominent lines of the 
 Tartans. 
 
 The detailed descriptions are from the "Vestiarium Scoticum," a 
 manuscript supposed to have been written late in the 15th or 
 early in the i6th century, publi:hed in 1843 ii a magnificent vol- 
 ume under the editorship of John Sobiesky Stuart, one of the last 
 descendants of "The Young Chevalier." 
 
 The writer thus gives his reasons for compiling his book ....

Note on the Antiquity of Tartans. 
 
 The antiquity of the Tartans is a subject which has given rise to 
 much research amongst scholars, and some speculation amongst 
 their critics. 
 
 Some scholars find evidence that chequered cloth was not 
 peculiar to the Scottish Highlanders, but is really a survival of 
 a trait common to all the great branches of the Celtic race. 
 Logan quotes a Roman author to show that the bright patterns 
 shown in the dress of the ancient Gauls had been noticed and 
 admired by their conquerors. On the other hand, some critics 
 go the length of saying, that while Tartans in themselves may be 
 old, the distinctive patterns to which clan names are attached, 
 are only an affair of the day-before-yesterday and cannot be 
 traced further back than the early part of the present century. 
 
 This view is too absurd to require refutation. 
 
 While jewels, on account of their intrinsic value, and arms 
 and armour, by reason of their associations with prominent mem- 
 bers of noble families, have been handed down as heirlooms and 
 so preserved for centuries, clothing has very seldom been consid- 
 ered worthy of preservation, so that it is only by some accident 
 that articles of dress, having any claim to antiquity, have been 
 preserved. When King Robert the Bruce, in the tight at Dalree, 
 lost his plaid or mantle, and with it the jewelled brooch which 
 fastened it ; the brooch was at once considered a rich prize, and 
 has been preserved through the many vicirsitudes of five hundred 
 and eighty years. It is now the famous " Brooch of Lome," but 
 no thought was given to preserve the plaid. It need not be a 
 matter of surprise, therefore, to find that comparatively few 
 specimens of ancient Tartans are in existence, yet there are 
 sufficient to show the antiquity of Clan and Family Tartans.

 Some of the Tartans worn by Prince Charlie are still pre- 
 served, likewise a plaid worn by one of his followers, Murray of 
 Tullibardine, which for fineness of texture cannot be surpassed 
 by the best productions of woollen manufacturers of the present 
 day. 
 
 The "Jacobite " Tartan of this catalogue is from a specinjen 
 made not later than 1712, and was designed to be different from 
 any known Tartan of that period, having a considerable propor- 
 tion of orange. 
 
 The chief of the Clan Macpherson, Cluny of Cluny, has 
 Tartans in his possession at least 200 years old. One of these is 
 almost identical with the " Makanphersonis " described in the 
 " Ves^iarium," 
 
 The *• Vestiarium Scoticum " is a description of seventy-five 
 Tartans, divided into — Highland, Lowland, and Border Clans — 
 recalling the almost forgotten fact that clans were not confined 
 to the Highlands and Islands. The M.S. is supposed to have 
 been written in the latter part ef the 15th or the early years of 
 the 16th century. The author, in an "Envoi," calls himself 
 " Schyr Richard Urqvharde, Knycht." He seems to have been 
 a gentleman and a soldier of fortune, well acquainted with 
 
 " Heravltrye and armovris 
 Cvrtlye gvys and tovrnai, 
 Hunter craft and forestrye." 
 
 He has had a remarkable facility in describing in words the 
 characteristics of the different Tartans, borrowing for this pur- 
 pose a few terms and phrases Irom the kindred subject of 
 heraldry — " fields, lists," etc. 
 
 That his descriptions do not correspond with many of the 
 Tartans of the present day should cause no surprise ; it is more 
 than 300 years since his book was written ; Scotland has seen 
 many changes in that time, the clan system has disappeared ex- 
 cept in the case of but a few of the most powerful. The risings

 in favour of the old Stewart line in 1714 and 1745 did much to 
 bring to a close that ancient form of society. The chiefs became 
 poor — were outlawed if they were so fortunate as to escape the 
 headman's axe. The wearing of the ancient dress was made a 
 criminal offence. Is it surprising that the knowledge of some 
 Tartans was quite lost, and that consequently some of those 
 which were revived were not quite the same as formerly ? 
 
 Indeed it does not require any special reasons to account for 
 changes in such a long stretch of time. It is well known to all 
 who take an interest in Tartans that there is a constant tendency 
 to produce slight variations in the pattern, and great care is 
 needed to keep this tendency down. The Tartans now worn by 
 the Highland regiments shew this in a very marked manner ; 
 take any of these regiments, and it will bo found that the officers' 
 plaids are very different in the shades of colour from their kilts, 
 while those of the rank and file are still further removed from 
 the shades of the plaid, yet these are all the same Tartan.

 Stewart— Prince Charlie 
 
 Modification of Royal Stewart, with smaller Red ground, 
 and Darker Blue. 
 
 ' ' In earlier specimens of this tartan the Blue lines were made 
 lighter in tone, and rather wider, and was worn by the Prince 
 in Edinburgh, in 1745. It was adopted as a military tartan, 
 and is still used by the bands of more than one regiment. This 
 circumstance seems to have led to a further variation — the 
 check has been muoii increased and consequently the red ground 
 much more reduce*!, while the blue has been deepened in tone." 
 
 Stewart— Prince Charlie. 
 
 " This Tartan is copied from a riding cloak worn by Prince 
 Charlie, and left with other articles in the castle of one of his 
 followers whose descendant now owns it — Sir James Murray 
 Threipland of Fingask. The cloak has a velvet collar, and is 
 bound with a red silk ribbon, which has faded at the sleeves 
 into a light purple, but it is ditticult to say what was the origi- 
 nal color of the collar, while the colors of the tartan are as fresh 
 as if made yesterday. The colors and design are the same as 
 in the tartan last mentioned, with the exception that the blue, 
 which is light, has been placed in tiie centre instead of on the 
 outside of the check."
