The Duncan Tartans
|
|
|
| |
There
are two official Clan Duncan Tartans at present,
The Duncan or Leslie of Wardis and Duncan of
Sketraw. Both tartans are registered with the
Scottish Tartan Register (The official Register
of Tartans in Scotland), The Scottish Tartan
Authority (STA) and The Scottish Tartan World
Register. Either of the Tartans can be worn to
show an allegiance to the name Duncan. A third
Tartan known as ‘Duncan Ancient’ is offered for
sale by some manufacturers but, this Tartan does
not have any known official recognition with the
Duncan name.

Duncan, or Leslie
of Wardis
|
| |
 |
|
The Duncan, or Leslie of
Wardis Tartan (Clan/Family Tartan), is
the oldest tartan to be associated with
the name Duncan and sold by most weavers
and is included in most pattern books.
However, it is not a Clan Duncan Tartan
and there is no official or registered
tartan with that name. It is however
always been the tartan, which in the
past has been adopted to show allegiance
to the name.

The Duncan
of Sketraw Tartan (Clan/Family
Tartan) was designed by Brian Wilton.
The colours are 'loosely' based on
Duncan, or Leslie of Wardis. The Tartan
was designed for John A. Duncan of
Sketraw, Laird of Sketraw and can also
be used to show allegiance to Clan
Duncan.

Unregistered Duncan
Ancient

 |
The
Duncan Ancient is offered for sale by some
weavers in their pattern books but, there is no
registered version of the Tartan. The Tartan
looks more like a washed out version of Duncan,
or Leslie of Wardis, to attempt to give an
ancient look to the tartan, there seems to be no
official registration and is not a true Ancient
tartan which, would have represented the use of
ancient vegetable dyes.
