MacLeod of Assynt Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1582. Earliest known date: 1906 In a portrait of the 24th chief, John Norman, painted posthumously (perhaps by Julius Jacobson, born 1811) in 1835, John Norman is shown in the costume worn for the visit of George IV to Edinburgh in 1822. The snuff-box may be evidence that the Vestiarium 'loud' design, which is very similar to that of the snuff box, had particular significance for John Norman or his wife, Ann Stephenson.

- MacLeod Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1583. Earliest known date: 1831 This design appears in many early collections including Logans 'The Scottish Gael'(1831) and Smibert (1850). The sett has its source in the MacKenzie tartan used in 1777 by John MacKenzie called Lord MacLeod when he raised a regiment called 'Lord MacLeod's Highlanders'. The family claimed to be heirs of the last chief of Lewis, Roderick, who had died in 1595. (Tartans of Clan MacLeod. Rhuairidh MacLeod (1990).) This tartan was approved by Chief Norman Magnus, 26th Chief, in 1910, and has been the usual modern sett since then. The present Chief, John MacLeod, lives in Dunvegan Castle, Skye.
