- Grant or Drummond Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1384. Earliest known date: 1831 The usual design is sometimes called Drummond. It is recorded by Logan (1831), Smibert (1850), and Smith (1850). McIan's drawing of the Grant tartan is too roughly done to make out the pattern details. A certain difficulty arises in establishing a single Grant tartan to represent the clan, illustrated by the existance of ten Grant portraits at Cullen House in which each brother is wearing a different tartan, and where a coat or plaid is worn, these also differ. The chief of the Grants is Lord Strathspey. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 1.05

- Crieff District Tartan Tartan Number: 1636. Earliest known date: 1793 Wilson's accounts of 1793 mention the Crieff tartan with no details. A manuscript dated 1800 gives details of colour but it is not until the publication of the Key Pattern Book of 1819 that this sett is revealed in full. Crieff in Perthshire was the most famous of the cattle drovers 'trysts' prior to 1700. It is a very large sett which has been proportionately reduced for this illustration. The full threadcount: Light Red 4, Red 12, Green 8, R 140, G 8, R 4, Purple 42, R 4, G 170, R 4, G 8, R 12, LR 4. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 1.11
