- Chisholm (Portrait) The.. Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 532. Earliest known date: 1800 This is without doubt the oldest of the Chisholm tartans, dating from around 1800 and which appears in a portrait of the clan heroine 'Mary Chisholm' of about that date. She was famous for having sided with the clansmen during the clearances. D.C.Stewart says it is a variation of one of the MacIntosh setts, said to have been found in a cave at Achnacarry in 1746.

- Fraser Red Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1424. Earliest known date: 1842 Early references include Wilson's of Bannockburn, but Wilson did not name the sett. D W Stewart contends that this is in fact an early Grant tartan which he traced to a portrait of Robert Grant of Lurg (1678-1771), hanging at Troup House before it was closed around 1894. It is undoubtedly the most popular Fraser pattern today. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 0.78

- Nisbet Family Tartan Tartan Number: 2115. Earliest known date: 1842 This is the sett that appears in the Vestiarium Scoticum as Mackintosh. There is no connection between the names, historically, to explain the position and it is interesting to note the similarity with the Dunbar tartan which also originates in the Vestiarium. The Nisbets came from the old barony of Nisbet in the parish of Edrom, Berwickshire, as early as 1160. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 0.91
