6. Ramsay Red Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1238. Earliest known date: 1842 Ramsay was one of the names adopted by members of the Clan MacGregor when their own was proscribed. It is not surprising then that an early MacGregor sett was used as a basis for the Ramsay tartan. It is possible that the tartan was in existance long before the earliest recorded date given.

7. MacQueen — ΔT 1.02
8. 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.
