Provenance

James Logan recorded the Cameron sett in 1831, on page 402 of the Table of Clan Tartans in The Scottish Gaël — the earliest systematic published collection of clan setts. Logan gives the stripe widths in eighths of an inch, measured across the cloth and reflected about each end (a half-sett):

½ yellow · 4 blue · 1½ red · 8 blue · ½ red · 8 black · 8 green · 1½ red · ½ green · ½ red · 4 green · ½ red · ½ green · 1½ red · 8 green · 8 black · ½ red · 8 blue · 1½ red · 4 blue · 1 yellow

In threads (at 8 to the eighth-inch) that is Y/4 B32 R12 B64 R4 K64 G64 R12 G4 R4 G32 R4 G4 R12 G64 K64 R4 B64 R12 B32 Y/8. Logan named his colours rather than dyeing to a standard, so the palette here is the Dictionary's modern reading of his names.

See Logan's Scottish Gaël for the full table and method.

Later records of the Cameron name adjusted Logan's counts: Cameron; Cameron (altered by weaver); Cameron Ancient; Cameron Black & Red (Dress). Compare their thread counts with Logan's above.
