- Christie Family Tartan Tartan Number: 1355. Earliest known date: 1930 Two woven samples in the Society's collection, were presented by Messrs Stewart Christie of Edinburgh. Very little else is known about the origin of the design. The alternative sample replaces blue with azure, but is otherwise identical. The name Christie in Scotland is thought to derive from the Norse word 'Trusty' meaning swordsman. (c.f. thrust). Christies are traditionally associated with the Clan Farquharson.
