Well alright to those that are interested, the colours, shades of colours and settings within the sett are of significance. However, I have to be honest here, I doubt if most in the past and present day would even notice or care on a day to day basis. Particularly from a colour point of view due to the vagueness of the practical chemistry and day to day “weathering”involved in the past.

So, I have to ask our historical and artistic experts, from a historical, theoretical and practical point of view, did any serious discussion, historically speaking, take place about these differences of sett size and colour within tartans in general and these tartans in particular? Or, is this a present day fad, amongst the more academic of us?
