- MacPhail Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1028. Earliest known date: pre 1950 This sample comes from the MacGregor-Hastie collection which forms the basis of the cloth archive of the Scottish Tartans Society. Some of the samples, including this one, were unmarked. One can assume that the sample dates between 1930 and 1950. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 0.92

- Sturrock Family Tartan Tartan Number: 1359. Earliest known date: From collection dating 1930-5 The thread count of the cloth sample has been divided by two for display. The Register contains two Sturrock counts. In this version blue replaces part of the black stripe, making a small change to the appearance that could easily go unnoticed. It is likely that the second pattern came about by the use of a very dark blue that was later mistaken for black. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 0.98
- MacDuff #4 — ΔT 1.02
- Nisbet Family Tartan Tartan Number: 2115. Earliest known date: 1842 This is the sett that appears in the Vestiarium Scoticum as Mackintosh. There is no connection between the names, historically, to explain the position and it is interesting to note the similarity with the Dunbar tartan which also originates in the Vestiarium. The Nisbets came from the old barony of Nisbet in the parish of Edrom, Berwickshire, as early as 1160. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 1.04
