Outlander tartans: Questions

[figheadair]

Also, the actual MacKenzie tartan is similar to the Armstrong and Davidson tartans, and the Fraser tartan has a lot of red, blue, and green. I know that the tartans weren't necessarrily associated with clans until later than what Outlander is set (I think. I can't remember the years), so I see no need to order these tartans other than 1) supporting a business, and 2) being a fan of the show.

Whilst the MacKenzie has overall similarities with the Armstrong and Davidson tartans it is technically quite different; it is in fact simply the Government (Black Watch) tartan with a red and white over stripe.

The concept of clan tartans began around 1800, some two generations after the events depicted in the Outlander series.
