- 1992 — Hislop Hunting (Name) (tartans-authority, record)
Reason or source of this variation on 2137 not known. Apparently designed for a Gordon Hyslop an ex-pat from Glasgow who owned a shop called 'Highland Fling' in Michigan. He decided there was too much red in it for his liking and asked Dr. Phil Smith to design him an alterbative whch can be seen at #3847. This Hislop Hunting is thus rarely seen. - undated — Hislop/Hyslop Hunting #2 (register-of-tartans, record)
A variation of the new Hislop design. See Scottish Tartans World Register no 2136 notes. - undated — Hislop hunting (weddslist, record)
