The sett
Galbraith Ancient is a clan and family tartan. Clan and family tartans are traditionally worn by those of the name and their kin, though no law stops anyone wearing any tartan.
A tartan is one pattern of threads, and the same pattern comes in different depths of colour, each called a setting. Galbraith 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 five colours: Black, Teal, Green, Grey and Brown.
