Skene Modern

From William and Andrew Smith's 1850 book "Authenticated Tartans of the Clans and Families of Scotland" The Smiths' comments were: "This Tartan is one of those which belongs to the Lowland Families near the Highland border, and was worn by the late Skene of Skene. It appears in Mr Logan's book, but we must confess that it is a pattern about the antiquity of which we entertain some doubts."  Wilsons wove this tartan as Logan (c 1831) although there is a sample in the Cockburn colection labelled 'Rose'.
