- Caledonian - 1819 (Fashion?) — ΔT 0.33
- Caledonian District Tartan Tartan Number: 526. Earliest known date: 1819 In view of its widespread use as a foundation for other tartans it is perhaps not surprising that Wilson's named the Mackintosh tartan 'Caledonian'. They also called it 'Lovat or Fraser'. For this reason the tartan is not suitable for persons seeking a Caledonian tartan unless they are also Frasers of Lovat or Mackintoshes.

- Dunbar Family Tartan Tartan Number: 1472. Earliest known date: 1842 The sett for this Lowland family first appeared in the Vestiarium Scoticum. There is also a Dunbar district tartan woven by Wilson's of Bannockburn around 1850. It is not possible to say whether Wilson's pattern was intended as a district or a family sett. The Chief of the Dunbars, Sir Jean Dunbar of Mochrum, once a jockey, lives in Florida, U.S.A. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 0.71

- MacKintosh Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 521. Earliest known date: 1815 D.C. Stewart wrote, "This is one of the few ancient tartans too well authenticated to admit of doubt or question." The earliest publication is attributed to Logan but he may well have known of the sample, sealed with signature of the chief, which existed in the collection of the Highland Society of London, dating around 1815. The chief of the MacKintoshes is also chief of Clan Chattan. Logan wrote, "The chief also wears a particular tartan of a very showy pattern", which has now been registered with Lord Lyon (1947) as 'Clan Chattan (Chief)'. The clan tartan has likewise been registered as 'Clan Chattan'. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 1.03
