1. Scotch Tape 2 (Corporate) — ΔT 0.85
2. Wallace Hunting Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1101. Earliest known date: pre 2003 The design comes from the Vestiarium Scoticum (1842). The authors, the Sobieski Stuart brothers, enjoyed a popular following among the Scottish gentry in the early Victorian era, and in the spirit of the times, added mystery, romance and some spurious historical documentation to the subject of tartan. Of the better known tartans, the book offers some minor variation, but in other cases it provides the only recorded version of many tartans in use today.

5. MacArthur Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1100. Earliest known date: 1842 MacArthurs were at one time linked with the MacDonalds and this tartan has the same basic form as the MacDonald, Lord of the Isles sett. MacArthurs, in Skye, held land as the hereditary pipers to the MacDonalds. There is also an older MacArthur of Milton tartan whose design reflects the links with Clan Campbell.

6. Romsdal District Tartan Tartan Number: 2087. Earliest known date: 1850-1900 Romsdal is where the Scottish army landed in 1612 under the command of Captain Sinclair and in the pay of the Swedes. They marched through half of Norway until defeated at Kringen. Sinclair was killed by a silver button used as a 'bullitt' (sic). Many Scots settled in Norway after the battle leaving place names such as Skottlia and Skotte. Romsdal is the only place on the west coast of Norway where there is a tradition of tartans.
