78th Fraser tartan

[figheadair]

I can't find the article that appeared in the SFU newspaper in 2010 when the new tartan was introduced, but as I recall they said that the only change was in the shade of blue.

And I think the article mentioned which mill they had worked with to produce the new colour-scheme, but I can't remember which mill it was.

Thanks for clearing that up. Not a new tartan then but a new version of their Fraser, the colours look like Lochcarron's. I'm not a fan of this colouration which appear to be 'Old Colours' more or less. The uniform paler shades do nothing for the pattern IMO. Why or why didn't they go back to basics and get Wilsons' original shades matched. Here are two pieces of their cloth from the Highland Society of London's collection c1816-20.
