The date given by MacKinlay is 1745 whereas Lord Lyon gives 1747. Both setts are clearly based on the same pattern which was found in an old Morrison family bible during demolition work on a Black House in Lewis in 1935.

- Scott Red Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 4. Earliest known date: 1930-50 The Red Scott tartan is the sett most often seen today. The earliest recording appears to come from a sample in the MacKinlay collection at the Scottish Tartans Society. Sir Walter Scott, despite his assertion that Lowlanders never wore plaids, was largely responsible for the wide spread introduction of tartans to the Lowland families. There is also a Green Scott tartan. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 0.95
