The Farquharsons come from Deeside in Aberdeenshire, and this Ancient version of their tartan carries the soft, weathered colours of the older dyeing traditions.
The sett is built on mossy green and sky blue over black, crossed with fine lines of orange-red and gold. The Ancient palette lightens what is otherwise a deep, formal tartan into something warmer and easier to wear.
Clan Farquharson took its name from Farquhar, a 13th century son of a Mackintosh chief, and the family’s seat has long been Invercauld on Royal Deeside, close by Balmoral itself. Known for centuries as fierce fighters and firm supporters of the Jacobite cause, the Farquharsons remain one of the well-known names of the eastern Highlands.
The Ancient colouring suits weddings, Highland Games and everyday Highland dress equally well. Wear it with a leather sporran, add a set of tartan flashes, and finish with a kilt pin.
Woven in tartan wool blend as a 5-yard kilt, or 8-yard for deeper pleating and heavier drape. Knife-pleated at the back with a flat front apron, fastened with leather straps and metal buckles. Made to your measurements, so send your waist and length and it is cut to fit.
