Notes:
According to the STS, this design first appeared in the 1842 'Vestiarium Scoticum' and is different from earlier setts attributed to the Lord of the Isles or to any of the Clan Donald branches. It is not generally regarded as a clan tartan. The Sobieski Stuart brothers who published the Vestiarium claimed to be the heirs to a manuscript once in the hands of Prince Charles Edward Stuart himself but the original was never produced for public examination. The book appears to be a curious mixture of fact and fiction in keeping with the romantic ideology of the time.

Even so the tartan, usually designated as "hunting" in order to differentiate it from official clan tartans, remains widely popular with MacDonalds as well as the general public.
