  • Notes:

    In their 1850 book "The Clan and Family Tartans of Scotland: William and Andrew Smith of Mauchline wrote: The pattern here given seems to be universally considered the genuine Buchanan tartan and we know that it is worn by Archibald Buchanan Esq. of Catrinebank, Ayrshire, whose father's name is identified with one of the first cotton manufactories established in Scotland with Arkwright's improvements."

     

    This Tartan dates to "Pre 1850."
