Outlander tartans: Questions

[Dughlas mor]

There are others here who know much more than me, but to my knowledge there were few (if any?) recognized clan tartans at the time of the "45." The philabeg, or small kilt existed then, but the modern 8 yard, knife pleated kilt didn`t come into existence until at least a hundred years later, probably more. If you want to learn the history of kilts and tartan, first thing is forget about "Outlander."
