The sett
MacDonald of the Isles Red Ancient is a district tartan. District tartans belong to a place rather than a family, so anyone with a connection to it — or simply a liking for the sett — can wear this one.
A tartan is one pattern of threads, and the same pattern comes in different depths of colour, each called a setting. MacDonald of the Isles Red is available in two of them — Ancient and Modern — and this page is the ancient one. Ancient settings run lighter, weathered ones look faded as old cloth does, and modern settings are the deepest.
The sett is recorded in three colours: Red, Brown and Orange.
