  • Notes:

    Said to have possibly been designed by Sir Thomas Dick Lauder who was a particular friend of the Sobieski brothers (Vestiarium Scoticum, 1842). However Gunn is virtually identical and was recorded in 1831. It is quite possible that the Sobieskis altered that slightly to make the Lauder for their friend Sir Dick. It appears as No. 87 in The Setts,  W & A K Johnston (1906). Woven sample in 'Clans Originaux' is named 'Gunn or Lauder'. In the Gunn tartan the black bands are the same width as the blue, otherwise the sett is the same.
