10. Campbell of Loudoun Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 3. Earliest known date: 1886 The rarest of the Campbell tartans, Loudoun is nevertheless, acknowledged by the MacCailein Mor, Chief of the Clan Campbell. It is similar to the Campbell of Argyll except for a different arrangement of black 'tramlines' on the blue stripe. The tartan may have its origin in the formation of 'Loudouns Highlanders' raised at the time of the '45 and disbanded in 1748 though a similar claim is made for another sett. The weavers, Wilson's of Bannockburn, produced many variations of the Black Watch, for the Highland regiments, by adding coloured stripes to the basic pattern. The sett was not published until 1886 when James Grant included it in 'The Tartans of the Clans of Scotland' published by W and A.K. Johnston, Edinburgh.
