1. Wotherspoon Family Tartan Tartan Number: 741. Earliest known date: c.1941 This sett comes from the MacGregor-Hastie collection which is housed at the Scottish Tartans Society. It was obtained from Andersons in 1947, one of several designs produced between 1930 and 1950 for Septs and Families of Scottish lineage. Wotherspoons are recorded in the Lowlands of Scotland from the beginning of the 14th century. The Rev. John Witherspoon (1722-94), born in Yester, East Lothian, was President of 'Princeton University' in 1768 and took an active part in the American Revolution.

5. MacTavish Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 230. Earliest known date: pre 2003 D.C. Stewart writes, " This tartan has recently (1950) come into use as being that appropriate to the Thomsons; Thomson is the anglicised form of the name MacTavish. It is not recorded in any of the early illustrated books. Many MacTavishes wear the Campbell of Argyll." Stewart may not have considered Johnston's publication in 1906 as 'early' and this may have been the source for the sett he recorded in the 'Setts of the Scottish Tartans' in 1950. Some versions show black in place of the mid blue stripe in this illustration. There is also the personal tartan of Lord Thomson of Fleet and a sett recorded in the 'Baronage of Angus and Mearns'.
