1. MacInnes Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1464. Earliest known date: 1908 Recorded by Adam in 1908. The Clan MacInnes of the West and the Clan Innes of Moray are two separate clans. The similarity in the structure of the MacInnes green tartan and the Innes red have resulted in the use of both tartans as 'dress' and 'hunting' tartans by both clans. The notes in the archives of the Scottish Tartans Society attribute the design to the 'Onich Grocer' with no further explanation. MacInneses are hereditary bowmen to the Chief of MacKinnon.

7. Malcolm Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1976. Earliest known date: 1850 (1847) There is an error in D.C.Stewarts, 'The Setts..' (1950 1st Edition) corrected in the 2nd edition (1974). The name Malcolm was established, as distinct from MacCallum, in 1770 when the 9th Chief of Poltalloch changed the family name to Malcolm. This may well be the sett on which the MacCallum was based "from the recollection of old people in Argyllshire" and which D.W. Stewart illustrated in silk in his book, 'Old and Rare..'. Wilson's of Bannockburn produced a symetrical version of the Malcolm tartan which was recorded in their 1847 pattern book. The Gold and Azure of the additional stripes can be found in the armourial bearings of the Malcolm family. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 0.92
