Predominantly Black Tartans?

[piperdown]

Highland Granite is a great tartan....

There are a number of C18trh and early C19th tartans that are predominately black or dark blue. Unfortunately they are not generally including in most/all published Dbs.

Having gone through the SRT pretty thoroughly about a year back I managed to put together an album of about 30 mostly black tartans (mostly black – not merely with black as a base colour or background).
They are, by name:
Allen Joy’s Fancy
Allt Dubh
Anzac
Ben Dubh
Black Shadow
Bodog
Bouncing Blackie
Bute Heather Black
Bute Heather Midnight
Bute Heather Modern
Bute Heather Weathered
Callaghan
Dark Island
Freedom of Scotland
Highland Park
MacRae Special Hunting
Moonlight Glen
New Zealand
Nightstalker US
Pride of Scotland Contemporary
Pride of Scotland Dark
Pride of Scotland Grey
Pride of Scotland Muted
Pride of Scotland Platinum
Scotland’s Lionheart
Silver Mist
Stewart Black
Stewart Mourning (there are two versions: one black and grey with just two white stripes; one black and white)
The Patriot
In addition there are more than 20 black and white tartans, including one of the Stewart Mourning variations.
There are about 40 predominantly grey tartans, and more than 20 grey and black setts.
For my personal taste, I would avoid most of them because they remind me far too much of trousers.
But I am sure there are many takers.

The Clan Brown tartan is VERY black dominant.

There is certainly a good deal of black in the Brown tartan, but to my eyes it is red and blue.

There are a number of black & white tartans that have been given clan names. One such is the Ogilvie (Black and White).
