A STARZ Original Series From Executive Producer Ronald D. Moore: Outlander

Regarding earlier questions about the tartan being worn, and Fraser or MacKenzie:
From my reading of the history of tartan, I seem to recall that most agree that before the Ban on wearing of tartan, after Culloden, there were no such thing as uniform "clan tartans", that most Scots, in the Highlands, wore mostly whatever the local weavers wove. Most of those tartans were also made with locally available dyestuffs ( probably mostly plant based dyes). I also seem to recall that what few written accounts were made, commented upon the tartans as also blending in with the local plants, and thus acting as a form of camouflage.
Therefore I believe that it would have been very historically inaccurate, to have the cast wearing Victorian invented "clan tartans", esp. the predominantly red "dress tartans", as I believe we have been told that only the rich could have afforded such colours, in their clothing. I also seem to recall reading that wearing a mix of different tartan patterns was not an uncommon practice, before the banning of tartans.
