Was Tartan ever actually banned?

[figheadair]

Is it "parti-coulured" or "partly-coloured"? By your thought then, they could still own their old Highland Clothes, they just couldn't wear them. Unless, of course, they traveled south of the border to England.

Parti-coloured was common term at the time that seems to have been synonymous with tartan. We might use the term multi-coloured in much the same way today.

Technically they could have worn their Highland cloths in Edinburgh or Glasgow. The Act talks about '...that part of North Britain called Scotland' by which them mant the Highlands. The Act clarifies it by areas north of the Forth, Perthshire etc.
