- Paton Family Tartan Tartan Number: 2127. Earliest known date: 1930 Discovered in 1993 at P and J Haggart, weavers in Aberfeldy. It was possibly designed by the late Mr John Robertson around the 1930's, but the sample appears to have been woven in 1952. The Paton family associated with the tartan come from Aberdeenshire. Apart from the red stripe this sett resembles the Gordon of Abergeldy previously known as Ancient Gordon. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 1.16
- MacLean of Duart Hunting Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 824. Earliest known date: 1842 (1587) Perhaps dating back as far as 1587 but there is some debate as to the validity of the historical evidence. A charter granted to Hector MacLean, Heir of Duart, in the lands of Islay, the feu duty to be payable in the form of 60 ells cloth of white, black and green colours. This may well account for the colours, the proportions being the invention of the Sobieski Stuarts. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 1.20
