1. Graham of Montrose — ΔT 0.57
2. Graham of Menteith Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 698. Earliest known date: 1831 Logan describes the broad blue stripe as 'smalt', in his book, 'The Scottish Gael' published in 1831. Smibert also records this sett in 1850. However, in the text for McIan's Costume of the Clans (1845-47), Logan admits that this sett's antiquity is questionable. Menteith is the name given to the western branch of the Graham family. The Menteith District tartan is similar but the azure stripe is white. (See also Montrose, Menteith.)

5. MacKirdy Family Tartan Tartan Number: 1092. Earliest known date: 1930-50 This sample comes from the MacGregor-Hastie collection which forms the basis of the cloth archive of the Scottish Tartans Society. MacGregor-Hastie noted, "A pattern seen at Andersons, Edinburgh, was labelled 'MacKirdy'. It is a simple green tartan. The family are usually given as a sept of the Stuarts of Bute. The tartan is modern". One can assume that the sample dates between 1930 and 1950. At a very early period the larger part of the Island of Bute belonged to the Mackuerdys, which was leased to them by King James IV in 1489. Later Bute became the stronghold of the Stuarts of Bute.
