The Glen Affric Tartan is now for sale!

[figheadair]

What kind of garment might the Glen Affric tartan have been a part of? Obviously it's impossible to know for sure, but what was worn in tartan in those days? Wasn't it too early for a great kilt?

Depending on when in the 16th century, it was not too early for the Belted Plaid. That said, the cloth s too fine to have been practical for that use. Nor do we know if it belonged to a man or woman but it's likely to have been a lighter outer garment, possibly a status piece of some sort.
