- undated — Hannay Blue Clan/Family Tartan Tartan Number: 6509. Earliest known date: 2005 Jan 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. The Hannay Blue is a derivative created for J A Hannah, Balquhidder in 2005. White is exchanged for a muted pale blue.
