    Registered in the Public Register of All Arms & Bearings in Scotland (PRA 44/89). 27th July 1961. D.C.Stewart calls this sett, "the more recent Davidson," and the basis for the Henderson tartan. It was published by his father D. W. Stewart in 1893, in a beautifully illustrated book, "Old and Rare Scottish Tartans," in which each sample was woven in silk.

     

    This tartan dates to 1842.
