  • Notes:

    The design comes from the Vestiarium Scoticum (1842). The authors, the Sobieski Stuart brothers, enjoyed a popular following among the Scottish gentry in the early Victorian era, and in the spirit of the times, added mystery, romance and some spurious historical documentation to the subject tartan. Of the better known tartans, the book offers some minor variation, but in other cases it provides the only recorded version of many tartans used today.

     

    This tartan dates to 1842.
