1. MacLeod of Raasay Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1172. Earliest known date: c.1815-20 The thread count given is from the Provost MacBean Collection sample, which is very similar to to the sample in the collection of the Highland Society of London: K2 R18 K12 R2 K16. The design seems likely to be derived from the Vestiarium Scoticum, and would therefore be later than 1829. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 0.10

10. MacQueen Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1209. Earliest known date: 1842 The tartan of the Clan Revan, so called after Revan MacMulmor MacAngus MacQueen, who led kinsmen of the MacDonald bride for the 10th Chief of the Mackintoshes, to take protection from Clan Chattan. The sett was unnamed, as far as we know, before publication in the Vestiarium Scoticum (1842), but this source is unreliable. It has much in common with the Fraser and the Gunn tartans, both of which have four bold stripes, but the origin is more likely to have come from a combination of the MacDonald and the Mackintosh. Many MacQueens stayed in Skye, and the name there, is often spelt MacSween or MacSwan. The Skye stronghold was known as Garafadon.
