Evidence for the existence of this design can be found in a letter from Sheriff Dugald MacTavish at Kilchrist to John MacTavish, 18 February 1845, the original of which is held in the National Archives of Canada (Library and Archives Canada, James Hargrave and family fonds MG19-A21, Series 2 Mactavish family papers, volume 25/2, “D.M. to John McTavish. Regarding Scottish costume for son John, who will become the lineal representative of the Thane of Knapdale”, February 18th 1845, Kilchrist).
