3. MacKinlay Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 218. Earliest known date: 1906 The MacKinlay tartan could be described in tartan parlance as Black Watch with red. It is similar to the early military setts produced by Wilson's of Bannockburn for the MacKenzies, the MacLeods and the Gordons, but there is no mention in Wilson's comprehensive pattern books of a MacKinlay tartan. There are, however, grounds for comparison with the Farquharson, as MacKinlays are named in that clan. To further confuse the issue the sett is identical to Logan's 'Murray of Athol'. The first publication to include the sett (as MacKinlay) was Whyte's 'The Tartans of the Clans and Septs of Scotland' published by W. and A.K. Johnston in 1906.

4. Melville Family Tartan Tartan Number: 1050. Earliest known date: 1847 There is a sample in the Moy Hall collection.(1848). This sett, also known as Oliphant and Melville, appears in one of Wilson's notebooks in 1847. It is mentioned in a letter dated June 1824 but without any means of identification. It is also to be found in the Scott Adie (London) collection and in the MacPherson Museum in Newtonmore. Wilson records the second pivot (between the white lines) as blue.

5. Newlands Family Tartan Tartan Number: 2175. Earliest known date: 1986 Designed for Willy Newlands - a journalist who wrote for The Field magazine and who lives (2004) at Lauriston Castle near Aberdeen. Walker is the maiden name of Willie Newland's wife. Note from Willy Newlands in August 2004 says 'based on a rather bloodstained bit if rag on a family cushion'). Mr Newlands also suggests calling it the "Falconers' Tartan" in memory of an ancestor who was a Royal Falconer at the court of King James IV at Linlithgow c.1495. (Sindex notes). Design based on Cameron of Erracht. Letter from Willie newlands 6th April 1988 asked that this now be named Newlands of Lauriston.
