- Balmoral (Old and Rare) Royal Tartan Tartan Number: 1300. Earliest known date: 1893 The Balmoral tartan is not produced as an article of commerce. D.W.Stewart wrote in his book, 'Old and Rare Scottish Tartans' (1893), "Her Majesty the Queen has not only granted permission for its publication here, but has also graciously afforded information concerning its inception in the early years of the reign, when the sett was designed by the Prince Consort." The grey threads are flecked to give an impression of granite. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 0.90

- Hannay Family Tartan Tartan Number: 1255. Earliest known date: c.1810-44 The Hannay tartan has been long established in the South West of Scotland. An old kilt worn by Commander Alex Hannay (1788 - 1844) was discovered by his descendant, Miss Anne Hannay, in the family chest and came into the possession of Councillor John Hannay, a well known tartan designer and collector. He created a new design based on the old which included a red stripe. This sett was produced around 1950 by Messrs Galt of Galloway. The black and white check is a common feature of Lowland tartans, originally woven with the undyed wool and found in the earliest of tartans, the Shepherds Plaid. It is interesting to note that the colours of the armourial bearings of the Chiefly House of Hannay of Scorbie are Sable, Argent and Azure - black, silver and blue.
