Provenance

James Logan recorded the Logan sett in 1831, on page 404 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):

1¼ red · 1½ blue · ¾ red · ¾ blue · ¾ red · 7 blue · 5½ black · 7 green · ½ red · ½ black · 1 yellow · ½ black · ½ red · 7 green · 5½ black · 7 blue · ¾ red · ¾ blue · ¾ red · 1½ blue · 2½ red

In threads (at 8 to the eighth-inch) that is R/10 B12 R6 B6 R6 B56 K44 G56 R4 K4 Y8 K4 R4 G56 K44 B56 R6 B6 R6 B12 R/20. 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 Logan name adjusted Logan's counts: Logan; Logan #2; Logan #3; Logan #4. Compare their thread counts with Logan's above.
