- 01/01/1975 — Renwick (register-of-tartans, record)
Very close to the Clergy tartan in design if not in colour. Details of the sett were obtained from a specimen in the Catto Collection in Willowdale, Canada but little if anything is known of its origins. James Renwick was the last man executed (1688) in Scotland for religious principles. Sample in Scottish Tartans Authority Dalgety Collection. Green in this graphic should be darker. - pre 1975 — Renwick (Name) (tartans-authority, record)
