- Caledonia No 155 District Tartan Tartan Number: 1356. Earliest known date: 1819 Popular in the eighteenth century and appears in a number of guises. Romantic stories are told of its origin but in reality little is known. (G.Teall). J. Scarlett asserts that Wilson's No 155 has never been named, and that Miss Margaret MacDougall was in error when she included it in Robert Bain's 'Clans and Tartans of Scotland' (1953) as Caledonia. It is included here because of its obvious family resemblance to other Caledonia setts. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 1.07

- Christie Family Tartan Tartan Number: 1355. Earliest known date: 1930 Two woven samples in the Society's collection, were presented by Messrs Stewart Christie of Edinburgh. Very little else is known about the origin of the design. The alternative sample replaces blue with azure, but is otherwise identical. The name Christie in Scotland is thought to derive from the Norse word 'Trusty' meaning swordsman. (c.f. thrust). Christies are traditionally associated with the Clan Farquharson.
