- 01/01/2004 — Blanton (Dress) (register-of-tartans, record)
Although Blantons can be considered a sept of the Clan Campbell this tartan was created to provide Blantons everywhere with a tartan they can call their own. It is therefore a Campbell design with the family colours of Thomas William Blanton III in the over check. Since there is already a Blanton tartan, this could be a Dress version. - pre 2004 — Blanton (Name) (tartans-authority, record)
A tartan for all of the name. Based on Campbell with the 'family colours' in the overcheck. There was confusion with an erroneous version numbered 4007 whereas this one shown here was 6181. Erroneous one has been deleted and its number of 4007 transferred to this entry.
