4. MacKenzie Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 267. Earliest known date: 1778 The MacKenzie is the regimental tartan of the Seaforth Highlanders, who were raised by MacKenzie, Earl of Seaforth, in 1778. The clan held lands in Ross-shire and around Muir of Ord, but in the 12th century, they were removed to Wester Ross, (Kintail). The chiefly line of Kintail died out (as prophecisied by the Brahan Seer) and the MacKenzies of Cromarty were recognised as Chiefs of the Clan. Wilson's 1819 pattern book records various widths and weights of cloth suitable for the different ranks in the regiment. The 'hard' tartan of the period was known to cut the legs of the private soldiers. There is a certified sample in the Highland Society of London collection signed by Mrs MacKenzie of Seaforth (1816).

5. MacEwen Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1587. Earliest known date: 1906 The tartan resembles the Campbell of Loudoun except for the red stripe. MacEwans have a historical link with the Campbells dating from 1432 when the lands of MacEwan of the Otter were annexed to Campbell territory. The association was not always a happy one and the 'broken' MacEwans settled in various parts of Lennox, Lochaber and Galloway.
