4. MacFarlane Red Artifact Tartan Tartan Number: 947. Earliest known date: 1822 The threadcount is taken from a silk, satin-weave sash, (1822) in the collection of the Scottish Tartans Museum in Comrie, Perthshire. (Reproduced at 50% actual count.) The sett varies slightly from the one registered with Lord Lyon but is often the manufacturers choice. MacFarlanes, 'sons of Parlan', were proscribed and their lands forfeited, in the same way as the MacGregors. Many emigrated and some changed their name: Bartholomew is a Southern form of the name. The chiefship is vacant. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 1.08
