The Duncan Tartans |
 |
|
| |
There are two official Clan
Duncan Tartans at present, The Duncan or Leslie of Wardis and Duncan of
Sketraw. Both tartans are registered with the Scottish Tartan Register (The
official Register of Tartans in Scotland), The Scottish Tartan Authority (STA)
and The Scottish Tartan World Register. Either of the Tartans can be worn to
show an allegiance 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 (Clan/Family Tartan), is the oldest tartan to be associated
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 always been
the tartan, which in the past has been adopted to show allegiance to the
name. |

The
Duncan of Sketraw Tartan
(Clan/Family Tartan) was designed by Brian Wilton. The colours are
'loosely' based on Duncan, or Leslie of Wardis. The Tartan was designed
for John A. Duncan of Sketraw, Laird of Sketraw and can also be used to
show allegiance to Clan Duncan. |

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, to attempt to give an ancient look
to the tartan, there seems to be no official registration and is not a true
Ancient tartan which, would have represented the use of ancient vegetable
dyes. |
