- undated — MacDonald of Dunyveg Family Tartan Tartan Number: 36. Earliest known date: 1992 Designed by Captain V.J. MacDonald-Evans for himself and future Lairds of Denovan, regardless of their name. In 2009 Lord Denovan removed the restriction, to allow all Denovan's to wear it with the tartan to be called simply Denovan (rather than Lairds of Denovan). In 2010 Lord Denovan further suggested this tartan for all of the MacDonald's of Dunyveg. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 (house-of-tartan, record)

- MacTaggert Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 408. Earliest known date: 1906 Around 1214 A.D. the chief of Clan Ross was known as Fearchar Mac an t'sagirt, which in English, means 'son of the priest'. The clan connection between the MacTaggerts and the Rosses, like many Scottish septs and aliases, is very long standing. The clan is sometimes referred to as Clan Anrias, recalling an ancient connection with the Irish royal house of Tara. The tartan was first published by Johnston's of Edinburgh in 1906.
