Stephenson
Its design is pattern BBGBYKBBBGKGBBBKYBGB — the page of every tartan sharing this colour sequence.
Designed c. 1975 by Jack Dalgety and R C Stephenson from a pre-1870 un-named sett in Bolingbroke and Jones' records.
The Stephenson tartan groups 3 setts — the same named design recorded as different cloths (its kilt, Carpet, Child's…, or a transcription apart). The master sett (★) is the exemplar.
