- Craigmoor Tartan Tartan Number: 1147. Earliest known date: pre 2003 MacGregor Hastie wrote, "This tartan was designed by me to meet a long felt want. Many people have asked if there was a Craig family tartan, and as the name is not connected with any Highland clan, yet the the family name is numerous, it seemed a good idea to design one. The design is based on the general colour of craigs and rocks." The Craig tartan is now in general production. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 1.16
