0.08		MacDougall Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1519. Earliest known date: 1815-16 The earliest reference to the MacDougall tartan is in the collection of the Highland Society of London where a sample exists, signed and sealed by the Clan Chief around 1815. The sett is a complex one and the nearest count to the present day day tartan comes from a sample in Paton's collection housed at the Scottish Tartans Museum, and dating to about 1830. The Highland Society also have a sample certified by the Chief MacDougall of MacDougall dated 1906, in their archives store at the Royal Caledonian School near London.
