The tartan is believed to date back centuries
A piece of tartan that is believed to be the oldest-known surviving example in Scotland will be put on display at the V&A Dundee this spring.
Because there were no artificial or semi-synthetic dyestuffs detected, the tartan was determined to date back at least as far as the 1750s. The Tartan exhibition is all about tartan’s universal and enduring appeal, and will include both iconic and everyday examples of fashion, architecture, graphic and product design, photography, furniture, glass and ceramics, film, performance and art.
"Although we can theorise about the Glen Affric tartan, it’s important that we don’t construct history around it. Although Clan Chisholm controlled that area, we cannot attribute the tartan to them as we don’t know who owned it. "There is no other known surviving piece of tartan from this period of this age. It's a remarkable discovery and deserves national attention and preservation.
