  • Notes:

    It first appeared in Wilson's 1819 list as No. 148 and the name "Douglas" was certainly attached to it by 1880 when it appeared in Clans Originaux as Douglas Hunting...This is the tartan worn by the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles). In the original tartan, the green and blue are so dark that it is almost impossible to see the lines crossing the greens.

     

    This tartan dates to 1819.
