I recall years ago looking at the Colquhoun website for 'recognized' tartans as I wanted to have a kilt made from Dalgliesh's reproduction tartan. At that time the Colquhoun Chief stated on the website that the modern and ancient tartans were the only ones recognized but did not make any mention of different mills. Since that time , the website has changed significantly . One of the changes is that there is no mention of 'recognized ' tartans and his wife is pictured wearing the reproduction colours.



I guess, even if you do standardise something, standards change.
