- 01/01/1950 — Innes (D C Stewart) (register-of-tartans, record)
This is the threadcount recorded by DC Stewart in 'The Setts of the Scottish Tartans' (1950). This tartan was not recorded in Logan's 'The Scottish Gael' (1830) but is shown in McIan's drawing in 'Clans of the Scottish Highlands' (1843-49) and the threadcount published in C N McIntrye North 'The Book of the Club of True Highlanders' (1881). There are differences between all these versions and the threadcount presented here is D C Stewart's compromise. The Innes (of Moray) tartan (STR #5309) has seven colours against the six in this version, where black has replaced the azure. - pre 1951 — Innes 6 Colours (Clan) (tartans-authority, record)
This is the closest to the Innes recorded in the Lord Lyon Public Register of all Arms and Bearings In Scotland. No 38/88 on 30th August 1951. As recorded, the Innes (#361) has seven colours against the six here where black has replaced the azure of 361.
