I also wondered about the Ancient Culloden that TheHighlands4me was referring to, and was unable to find it on either the Scotweb or Lochcarron websites, although Scotweb lists a Munro Culloden (Ancient Colours).
I can understand the desire to wear a tartan associated with Culloden, but I bow to the superior knowledge of our experts, notably Figheadair.
It did strike me, though that our friend might do well to look closer to home, since there are two tartans associated with his home state. Firstly there is States of Carolina, which has been approved by the legislatures of both states. And then there is also South Carolina which, although unofficial, is a pleasant-looking sett in blues.
Regards,
Mike
Mike, thank you and others for your clarification that there is not a 16 oz. Lochcarron Culloden Ancient Tartan, I miss understood the order conformation and therefore, I miss spoke. For clarity, this tartan is only available from Lochcarron in the two lighter weights, not 16 oz. I have also since been schooled on the finer points of the color variations that exist between the Lochcarron Culloden Ancient and the Culloden Jacket that Figheadair refers to. I think that perhaps the real point of my original post has been lost in all the clarification of colors and thread counts. What I was asking the group was not so much about the details of the colors and such, it was more centered around the basic question, has anyone had a kilt made out of the Lochcarron Ancient Culloden Tartan and were they pleased with their choice?
While I sincerely appreciate all the buzz around this tartan and it's historical relevance, I really just wanted some feedback from anyone who owned the Lochcarron Culloden Ancient. I now know that if I want a kilt made in the 1746 Culloden Tartan, I will have to have it woven. Unfortunately, I don't have the spare capital for such an undertaking at this time, unless there are others out there interested in the 1746 Culloden. If so, why don't we all band together and have a run produced by D C Dalgliesh? I'm game if enough of you guys are! Seriously, I'd love to do it. PM me if anyone is interested please.
Mike, I appreciate your suggestions pertaining to "It did strike me, though that our friend might do well to look closer to home, since there are two tartans associated with his home state. Firstly there is States of Carolina, which has been approved by the legislatures of both states. And then there is also South Carolina which, although unofficial, is a pleasant-looking sett in blues."Mike thank for the suggestion on the Carolina Tartans, but South Carolina is not my home state! I simply reside here for 12 plus years. If I were going to go with my home state tartan, it would be the tartan of the State of West Virginia! Again, a special run and something that I hope to do at some point in the future. Thanks for the suggestion though.
In closing, thanks to all, I will post pics once I've chosen the tartan and I actually have the kilt. Have a great night folks and please PM if you have interest in joining in on a run of the 1746 Culloden. I'm game if you all are. Have a good one all.
