    Did we lose the technology to film this in 1745 and then only recently reacquire that knowledge?

    Wrong information regarding the 'no such thing as Clan tartan in this period' line. Spesific sets were connected to clans or groups.

    • @Lotrfan99
      @Lotrfan99 5 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      Not true. While families did spin their own fabrics, they were not as complex as we assume, due to complex dye techniques not being available in the rural highlands. The whole gang-like tartan affiliation is pretty much a 19th century invention and was very much exaggerated. People of the same clan could wear a variety of different tartan patterns without any complications. During the 17th and 18th century, the tartans would have been very bland and mostly consisted of dark tones. They would not look like their contemporary counterparts.

      @@Lotrfan99 You are quite right, however the drab and weathered idea is overstated especially for the wealthy there were many very vibrant tartans available.

      Bruce MacAllan for most of Scottish history, the specific pattern and colour of the tartan wasn’t much of importance. The only regional giveaway of the tartan was just what dyes could be produced locally

      @Mac Kent The Highland Dress Act of 1746 was repealed in 1782, by then the rebellious symbolism of the tartan was largely gone. King George IV’s visit to Scotland led to an increase in interest in Scottish culture including tartans. An increase in wearing tartans and the artificial assignment (except for the Stuart clan, I believe) of specific tartans to specific clans started during King George IV’s reign. Afterwards, Queen Victoria promoted the beauty and romanticism of the Scottish Highlands to bolster the tourism industry and solidified the association of tartans to certain clans.

    "Gaelic speaking West Highlanders"? More drivel. The last native speaker of Deeside Gaelic died in the 1980s. That's in the North East, a few miles from Aberdeen.
