“A 16th c. Scottish Plaid was Found in a Bog–Now Becomes Oldest Historical Tartan Available to Wear Today”
A textile manufacturer in Scotland has recreated the oldest-known piece of Scottish tartan ever found, which was buried for centuries.
Discovered approximately forty years ago in a peat bog, the Glen Affric Tartan underwent testing organized by The Scottish Tartans Authority last year to confirm it was the oldest surviving piece of tartan, dating back to between 1500-1600 CE.

Listen, for people wanting to call out colonialism, there are way too many of you mocking Irish, Welsh, and Scottish names.
No, they’re not alphabet soup, no they do not look like “you’ve thrown letters at a wall and used what stuck,” they are living, breathing languages which we did CPR on after the British Empire shot them.
Like, people DIED to keep them alive.
Every time I see some (English/American) interviewer make an entire segment forcing Saoirse Ronan to list off Irish names, I die a little inside. It’s particularly galling to see the same people ooh-ing over how “mystical” they sound, or claiming ancient heritage to us.
Realise there’s a world beyond your myopic lens and just accept sometimes you’ve got new stuff to learn. Fuck knows I do.

A developer is once more seeking permission to build an 18-hole golf course on a protected nature site – Coul Links, just outside Embo, on the east coast of Sutherland.
In the middle of a climate emergancy, in a time of strife and hardship - people are planning to strip away even more of Scotlands beauty and nature for the gains of the rich to play around for a few hours.
Also Fuck Golf Courses
