  • Notes:

    Originally categorised as 'Fashion' but an early labelled sample was found at Kilbarchan Weaver's Cottage (3.5 miles south of Glasgow Airport) in Ayrshire, so it was re-categorised as Clan/Family. The standard thread count is from the Kilbarchan sample. The problem with dating the Kilbarchan samples is that the closest one can get is early 1950s when weaving ceased in the village. The samples could have been woven very much earlier than that, but there is no way of so proving.  Nicolson Green is virtually identical and dated to 1968. There is also a similarity to "Old Stewart".
