A sample of this tartan is held in the Society's archives. The thread count has been taken from the Lyon Court Books and proportionately increased. Some of the patterns are recorded with the smallest unit, usually the narrowest stripe, given a value of one. It is most unusual to weave tartan with a single thread in the colour scheme.
