Jacobite Modern Tartan
From the Highlands of Scotland
About The Jacobite Modern Tartan
Details from W and A Smith's 'Authenticated Tartans of the Clans and Families of Scotland', pub. 1850. The authors state that this pattern was taken from a silk scarf or plaid manufactured in 1712 but for which they offer no evidence beyond the family tradition of the unnamed lady said to have owned it when they were writing in 1850.
Apparently based on the Smiths' claim, W & AK Johnston state (1896), again without any evidence, that this tartan was adopted by the Jacobites prior to the '15.
Universal Tartan
Jacobite Modern is a universal tartan, which means it is not associated with any specific clan or family and can be worn by anyone!
