1. Urquhart Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 774. Earliest known date: 1831 Recorded in the scales given by James Logan in his book 'The Scottish Gael' (1831) and also given by Thomas Smibert in his 'Clans of the Highlands of Scotland' (1850). It has a foundation similar to the Black Watch but with pairs of black lines appearing in the green bands, not the blue. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 0.11

8. Gordon Regimental Tartan Tartan Number: 214. Earliest known date: 1793 Source references: Cockburn Collection No 10. Logan. Smibert No: 46. Smith No 35. Grant No: 17. Bain. The Setts No: 64. Wilson advertised a range of different quality Gordon tartans in the same colours. e.g. Sergt's Plaids 56 8 8 8 8 58 54 10 54 58 54 8 8. Forsythe, it is said, produced samples with one, two and three yellow stripes. The Duke chose the single stripe. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 0.68
9. 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.
