Prepared for the Vestiarium Scoticum but not included in the published version. It was claimed to be the sett of a 'relic from the '45' and published as such by D.W.Stewart in his book 'Old and Rare Scottish Tartans' in 1893. It has become more widely known in recent times. There is also an Atholl district tartan. This, with two slight colour variations is also Lindsay - the black changes to blue and the red changes to maroon.

The Stewarts of Atholl are descended from a son of Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan (the Wolf of Badenoch).
