Provenance

James Logan recorded the Duke of Sussex (Earl of Inverness) sett in 1831, on the hand-coloured plate facing page 401 in The Scottish Gaël — the earliest systematic published collection of clan setts. Logan gives the stripe widths in eighths of an inch, measured across the cloth and reflected about each end (a half-sett):

28½ red · 2½ green · ¾ white · 4 green · ¾ yellow · ¾ green · ¾ yellow · 7 red

In threads (at 8 to the eighth-inch) that is R/228 G20 W6 G32 Y6 G6 Y6 R/56. Logan named his colours rather than dyeing to a standard, so the palette here is the Dictionary's modern reading of his names.

See Logan's Scottish Gaël for the full table and method.
