- undated — Madoc Welsh Name Tartan Tartan Number: 7678. Earliest known date: pre 2008 The tartan for this Welsh surname and its variations, Madog Maddocks, is actually woven in Wales at the Cambrian Woollen Mill, weaving on the same site since 1830. This tartan differs from many traditional patterns in that the warp and weft differ, giving the finished worsted wool cloth more of a predominant stripe, vertically noticeable in the finished Kilt, or Cilt in Wales.

- Ross Hunting Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 756. Earliest known date: 1850 The threadcount is based on a sample from the MacGregor-Hastie collection of the Scottish Tartans Society. This version originally showed the light green overcheck having six stripes. BU noted irregularities in the threadcount, and suggests that 4 light green stripes would produce a more plausible kilting fabric. BU created the original transcription. Earliest historical reference. Other sources give Smith Museum, Stirling as the source. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 1.88
