  • Notes:

    The MacKinnon tartan now generally available and approved by the chief has altered its appearance over the years and returned to the form of the earliest example. The collection of certified tartans made by the Highland Society of London (c.1816) includes a specimen signed by the Mackinnon in which the purple stripes are a light shade of azure, a minor change that is mirrored in other tartans, notably the Royal Stewart. Registered Lord Lyon Court Book No. 11. 9th December 1960.
