The Sutherland tartan provides a broad variety of looks; with both Modern and Ancient featuring a green and blue base, with red, black and white stripes, in differing overcheck designs. This is in contrast to Hunting, which introduces a green and blue base, crossed simply by black lines. Alongside the Weathered variation, which offers slightly muted tones, all of the styles are woven to form a traditional, Highland pattern. The tartan represents Clan Sutherland, a powerful northern family from the county of the same name.
