1. Finzean's Fancy Artifact Tartan Tartan Number: 1860. Earliest known date: c.1805-15 Archibald Farquharson of Finzean (pronounced fingin) designed this sett to promote his claim to the chiefship of Clan Farquharson c. 1805-15. He based his design on the Chattan Chief's sett, making clear his political alignment and possibly his aspirations. A complete tartan outfit including a tartan jacket can be seen at the Stonehaven Museum. There is a sample woven in 1986 in the collection of the Scottish Tartans Society.

8. Whitworth Artifact Tartan Tartan Number: 1724. Earliest known date: c.1790-1800 A piece of material 11x8 inches supposedly cut from a plaid worn by Prince Charles during the '45 rebellion. The piece was loaned to the Scottish Tartans Society museum in 1978 by Anthony Whitworth. The tartan expert, James Scarlett, noted that the sample was woven with a flying shuttle and appeared to be of commercial manufacture. He suggests that it may be a commercial copy of one of the many 'Princes Plaids' made c.1790. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 1.31
