This was achieved in 1982 and #1197 (original Scottish Tartans Authority reference) was unveiled at Grandfather Mountain Games in that year. Two years later the hunting and dress were finalised. The light brown is taken from a woven sample originating from the Jack Dalgety Collection but the brown shown on the Dunlop Family Clan Society website is a mid brown. - 1984 — Dunlop, Htg (Clan) (tartans-authority, record)
