5. Perthshire or Drummond District Tartan Tartan Number: 1670. Earliest known date: c.1819 Perthshire is known as the gateway to the Highlands. The Perthshire tartan is similar to a the Drummond sett, the tartan of a Drummond clan who had extensive lands in the district. The first record of this tartan is in the early nineteenth century account book of Wilson's of Bannockburn where it is referred to as the 'Perthshire Rock and Wheel' being an early type of soft tartan.

6. Royal Stewart Royal Family Tartan Tartan Number: 1370. Earliest known date: 1831 The best known of all Scottish tartans, the Royal Stewart is the tartan of the Royal House of Stewart and the personal tartan of Her Majesty the Queen. In the same way that clansmen wear the tartan of their chief, it is appropriate for all subjects of the Queen to wear the Royal Stewart tartan. The pattern was first published by James Logan in his book, 'The Scottish Gael' in 1831, but references indicate that the sett was known at the end of the 18th century. Early samples show blue as a light 'azure'. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 0.84
