  • Notes:

    This tartan appears first in the 1842 'Vestiarium Scoticum' of John Sobieski Stuart and Charles Edward Stuart. It was also later recorded by W & A K Johnston in 1906. It has been referred to as 'Oliphant and Melville'. There is a similar pattern listed under 'Melville' which has also been worn by the Oliphants. There is no definitive provenance to distinguish one from the other, though the Vestiarium has proved unreliable in many cases.
