8. Fraser Red Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1424. Earliest known date: 1842 Early references include Wilson's of Bannockburn, but Wilson did not name the sett. D W Stewart contends that this is in fact an early Grant tartan which he traced to a portrait of Robert Grant of Lurg (1678-1771), hanging at Troup House before it was closed around 1894. It is undoubtedly the most popular Fraser pattern today. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 1.18
