About The Huntly District Modern Tartan
From Wilsons' 1819 - Marchioness of Huntly's tartan. Also from 'Old and Rare Scottish Tartans' published in 1893 by D. W. Stewart. The book was illustrated by samples woven in silk.
The Huntly district tartan is known to have been worn at the time of the '45 rebellion by Brodies, Forbes', Gordons, MacRaes, Munros and Rosses which gives a strong indication of the greater antiquity of the 'District' setts compared to the Clan tartans.
Jamie Scarlett MBE says (Jan 2005) that this tartan was the personal tartan of the Marchioness - thus the Wilson's name 'The Marchioness of Huntly's Tartan' but over time, because it contained the name 'Huntly' it became accepted and used as the district tartan for Huntly.
