- MacColl Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 878. Earliest known date: 1797 The MacColl tartan was produced by Wilson's of Bannockburn in 1797 under the name of 'Bruce' later known as 'Old Bruce'. Some historical detective work is required to establish the earliest date for the MacColl tartan. The MacColls are a branch of the Clan Donald who settled around Loch Fyne. Some of the clan living in the Ballachulich area took protection from the Stewart of Appin. There is a strong similarity in the pattern structure of the 'Appin' and the MacColl design. Wilson took great care to produce genuine Highland tartans, but he was less concerned with the naming of them, suggesting that he had in fact produced a MacColl tartan with a mistaken identity.
