- Cunningham (VS) Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1200. Earliest known date: 1842 The origin of the name comes from the district of Cunningham in Ayrshire. Alexander de Cunningham was created 1st Earl of Glencairn in 1488. The family is now widespread throughout Scotland. Cunningham was one of the names adopted by the MacGregors when their own was proscribed. There is a similarity with the MacGregor tartan but the true origin is unknown as the claims of antiquity made in the Vestiarium Scoticum, where the Cunningham tartan was first recorded, are unreliable.

- 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.
