2. MacLeod Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1583. Earliest known date: 1831 This design appears in many early collections including Logans 'The Scottish Gael'(1831) and Smibert (1850). The sett has its source in the MacKenzie tartan used in 1777 by John MacKenzie called Lord MacLeod when he raised a regiment called 'Lord MacLeod's Highlanders'. The family claimed to be heirs of the last chief of Lewis, Roderick, who had died in 1595. (Tartans of Clan MacLeod. Rhuairidh MacLeod (1990).) This tartan was approved by Chief Norman Magnus, 26th Chief, in 1910, and has been the usual modern sett since then. The present Chief, John MacLeod, lives in Dunvegan Castle, Skye.
