- MacGregor Hunting Glengyle Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1285. Earliest known date: 1960 This is the usual MacGregor sett but with a darker crimson background colour. The story goes that Alasdair MacGregor of Cardney wanted to make tartan from the wool of his own sheep. His initial dyeing attempt produced a shocking pink colour, so he dyed the wool a second time to get this dark crimson colour. He liked the result so much that he had a bolt of cloth woven and the Cardney MacGregors have worn it ever since. The addition of the term 'Hunting' to the name is, apparently a commercial attribution.

- MacGregor Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1526. Earliest known date: 1815 A sample of this tartan can be seen in the Cockburn Collection (1810-20) in the Mitchell library in Glasgow. MacGregor is one of the patterns labelled in 1815 in General Cockburn's hand writing. The same pattern is recorded by Wilson in the Key pattern book dating 1819 under the name 'MacGregor Murray Tartan'. Logan (1831) calls it simply 'MacGregor'. There is also a certified MacGregor tartan (for undress) called 'Rob Roy', a simple red and black check. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 1.10
