Provenance
Earliest known date: 1831 This sett is also recorded under MacLennan. Logans have another tartan also known as Skene or Rose. There is no conclusive explanation for the Logan - MacLennan connection, but it has been suggested that Logan or Lobban is an 'alias' for MacLennan, a common feature of early Scottish surnames.
