Summary

Description
English: The personal tartan known as "Marchioness of Huntly's tartan", which was later used as a Huntly district tartan (not to be confused with the slightly simplified "Huntly" district tartan , misidentified by SRT also as "Marchioness of Huntly's" [1] , nor with "old Huntly" also known as "Gordon, red (1819)" [2] ). This image is exactly full-sett, and can tile horizontally and vertically. The tartan was first recorded in the 1819 Key Pattern Book of William Wilson & Son of Bannockburn, but is probably much older. It is of a "busy" style frequently seen in tartans that pre-date the Dress Act 1746. Scottish Register of Tartans notes on this pattern: "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, Forbeses, Gordons, MacRaes, Munros and Rosses which gives a strong indication of the greater antiquity of the 'District' setts compared to the Clan tartans. Jamie [James D.] 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." This is a repeating, not mirroring, tartan.
