- MacTavish Thomson Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 228. Earliest known date: 1906 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'.
