Dutch District Tartan Tartan Number: 1134. Earliest known date: 1965 The late Sir Iain Moncrieffe of that Ilk, Albany Herald said, "It should be based on Mackay tartan because of the association with the Chiefs of the Clan Mackay. Baron Aeneas Mackay was Prime Minister of the Netherlands in 1889 and his great grandson Lord Reay, the present Chief, is also a Dutch Baron." The sett chosen was John Cargill's proposal of a simple colour change in respect of the two tartans, Dutch and Dutch Dress. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015

- Gordon of Esslemont Family Tartan Tartan Number: 1064. Earliest known date: c.1830 This sett is called 'Gordon of Esslemont' according to Captain Wolrige-Gordon of Esslemont in recent research. It was previously listed as 'Ancient Gordon' before the story of its origin came to light. Apparently the Duke of Gordon was offered tartans with one, two, and three stripes when he applied to Forsythe of Huntly to provide kilts for his troops. He chose the single stripe and called in the Heads of the families to choose from the others. Esslemont took the three stripe version.
