1. Carmichael Family Tartan Tartan Number: 1078. Earliest known date: 1907 It was the Carmichael of Artherstone who, in 1907, sealed a sample of the Carmichael tartan in the Collection of the Highland Society. This is the first known appearance of the tartan. This sett is sometimes woven in slightly different proportions, most noticable in the black and green stripes. Carmichaels are associated with the Stewarts of Appin and with the MacDougalls (MacMichaels), but all of the name, Carmichael, have the chiefs approval for the wearing of the Carmichael tartan.

5. Douglas Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1032. Earliest known date: 1831 Wilson's sent a list of tartans to Logan about 1830 stating that 'No 148' had been sold as Douglas for a 'considerable' time. Logan included the Douglas tartan even though he said that no family tartans appeared in his book. The distinction between clans and families is obscure. There are many historic references to the 'Border Clans' which would certainly describe the Douglas'. There is also a black and grey sett for the clan which first appeared in the Vestiarium Scoticum in 1842. The present chiefship is vacant on account of the compound surnames of the eligible claimants. Lord Lyon will not recognise 'double barrel' names.

6. MacLaren Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 342. Earliest known date: pre 1820 The MacLaren differs from The Ferguson only in having a yellow line where the latter has a white. They share the unusual feature of an unbroken band of blue. The present tartan appears under this name in Mclan's plate for Clan MacLaren. The Wilsons of Bannockburn were producing it before 1820 - but only under the name of 'Regent'. The Regency ended when George IV succeeded the throne in that year, the name of the tartan then becoming outdated; but production of the sett continued, as we know from specimens attached to customers' orders for more. Writers of the period tell us that the demand around 1822 for Clan tartans exceeded the authentic supply, and that not only were new setts invented but pre-existing ones acquired new names. Our present tartan may have been one of the latter; no older MacLaren has come to light. (MacLaren Society) See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 1.01

9. Ferguson of Athol Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 337. Earliest known date: 1850 D.C. Stewart points to the similarity with the Murray of Athol as a common source or association for the tartan. Some of the Fergussons of Athol and the MacLarens were followers of the Murray of Athol. The Ferguson tartan has a white stripe where the MacLaren has yellow. Chiefs of the clan are the Fergussons of Kilkerran, descended from Fergus of Dalriada, who brought the Stone of Scone to Scotland.
