6. Murray (Variation) Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 271. Earliest known date: 1810-15 A simplified version of the Murray of Atholl. The Cockburn collection housed in the Mitchell Library in Glasgow, is one of the earliest references for clan tartans. James Logan, in his book, The Scottish Gael (1831), wrote concerning the Black Watch, that "...a red stripe is often introduced", and this by Lord Murray who commanded the regiment.

7. Scottish Airports Corporate Tartan Tartan Number: 2510. Earliest known date: November 1988 An archetypal Kinloch Anderson blue design. Scottish Tartan Society notes say that Percy Pilcher (an early aviation pioneer 1866 -1899) had connections to the Gunn tartan (his mother was a Robinson). The design is based on that sett using the colours of the British Airports Authority with the purple line added to represent the Scottish thistle.
