- Dutch Dress District Tartan Tartan Number: 1133. 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 — ΔT 0.69
