  • 01/01/1982 — MacInroy Hunting (register-of-tartans, record)
    There are three current MacInroy tartans i.e. MacInroy, MacInroy of Lude and MacInroy Hunting. The MacInroy of Lude is reserved for members of the Lude family only whereas the two others are available to all MacInroys. This was first woven for the chief of the clan MacInroy of Lude by James Scarlett. Jamie's woven sample uses purple in place of the blue which seems to be the conventional colour.
