Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The McCandlish Red tartan. McCandlish is a family tartan, loosely based on the Black Watch tartan (in turn derived from Old Campbell), with an influence from Gordon. The yellow stripe in the tartan represents the "bright line" events that forked the family into McCandlish and McCandless lines, namely the Jacobite Risings, and our history as a Borders family. Yellow was selected, as well as red (in the original/base version of the tartan), from the colours of the earliest known McCandlish blazon (coat of arms), "Or, a galley her oars in action, and sails furled sable, flags gules; on a chief of the last three mullets argent." The blue represents the sea, as the vast majority of McCandlishes, McCandlesses and related are among the Gaelic diaspora, especially in North America and Australia & New Zealand, and it is again a reference to that 13th-century blazon, which features a ship. The increasing width of the black "tram track" stripes from 4 to 8 to 24 threads (or 2-4-12, in smaller weavings) represents the continuing worldwide growth of the name from a once very small family. The McCandlish suite of tartans was designed in 1992 by Stanton Ward Foster McCandlish in Albuquerque, New Mexico, US, with advice from J. Charles "Scotty" Thompson FSTS, author of So Your Going to Wear the Kilt. |

Restriction: This work may not be misrepresented as the tartan of another family name, only as McCandlish or a related name (McCandless, Caundlish, McCanlies, Quinlish, Conlisk, etc. – any name derived from Old Irish Cuindlis/Cuindilis/Cuindlaes); nor as the tartan of an organisation of any kind other than a family association of such a derived name; nor as the tartan exclusively of a specific individual. I.e., this tartan may not be usurped. Aside from this specific image file, the design itself, and the underlying thread count (textile specification) are copyrighted, and registered originally with the Scottish Tartans Authority, and since 2009 also with the official Scottish Register of Tartans. Attribution, captioning, labelling, or other identification is not required, but when given must identify the author, the author's surname, or any attested variant of the author's surname. Not restricted: Just to be clear, the tartan and images thereof may be used without any name at all; identifying it as McCandlish or a variant thereof is not required; only misidentifying it as someone else's tartan is prohibited. Derivative works that are sufficiently different in design (as defined by the Scottish Register of Tartans) are not subject to the above restriction. For example, if you like the color scheme, you are free to rework this tartan into one for your own family by changing the width and arrangement of lines into a new ratio; similarly, you could keep the linear layout but use purple and orange. The only reserved color/line design combinations under this license are those registered as McCandlish or related tartans at the Scottish Register of Tartans [permalink], with approximate color values and exact line ratios. |
