The Duncan
Tartans |
 |
|
| |
Although there is no
official Clan Duncan Tartan at present, there are two tartans that are
associated with the name both registered by the Tartan Authority of
Scotland. Either of the Tartans can be worn to show an association to
the name Duncan. A third Tartan known as ‘Duncan Ancient’ is offered
for sale by some manufacturers but, this Tartan does not have any known
official recognition with the Duncan name. |

Duncan, or Leslie of Wardis |
| |
 |
|
The Duncan, or
Leslie of Wardis Tartan, has in the past been
adopted by some to associate with the name Duncan and sold by most weavers
and is included in most pattern books. However, it is not a Clan Duncan Tartan
and there is no official or registered tartan with that name. It is however
acceptable to wear the tartan in order show allegiance to the name. |

The
Duncan of
Sketraw Tartan is Registered with The Scottish Tartans
Authority and was designed by Brian Wilton. The colours 'loosely' based on
Duncan, or Leslie of Wardis. The Tartan was designed for John A.
Duncan of Sketraw and can also be used to show allegiance to the
name Duncan. The Tartan is hoped that it
will be generally available at some time if there is enough demand. |

Unregistered Duncan Ancient |
| |
 |
The Duncan Ancient is
offered for sale by some weavers in their pattern books but, there
is no registered version of the Tartan. The Tartan looks more like a
washed out version of Duncan, or Leslie of Wardis and not a true
Ancient tartan which, would have represented the use of ancient
vegetable dyes. |
