Peter, The Baronage of Angus and Mearns (1856)

David MacGregor Peter's 1856 genealogy of the families of Angus and the Mearns — 38 family articles carry a TARTAN entry giving the sett as stripe depths in eighths of an inch, Logan's method and colour vocabulary exactly. Transcribed by hand from the 500 ppi Internet Archive scan; the threadcounts are derived from the eighths at 8 threads per eighth (the Logan display calibration). A dated 1856 witness for family↔tartan links: some entries copy Logan 1831, others attest family setts recorded nowhere earlier.

The dictionary's second-oldest dated source: some entries copy Logan 1831, others are the earliest record of a family's sett. See the post The Baronage of Angus and Mearns for the book and every entry.
