Reproduction Colours:
'A fragment of tartan cloth more than two centuries old, dug up from the historic Culloden Moor in 1946, gave birth to the D.C. Dalgliesh Reproduction range. Careful analysis and research into the original dyes led to a range of tartans which are designed to be authentic in colour and design to those worn in 1745 and before. They have a soft muted effect reminiscent of the days when vegetable sources such as lichen, moss and alder bark provided the dyer with his raw materials. These are probably the most historically authentic tartans on the market.'
