3. MacKenzie Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 267. Earliest known date: 1778 The MacKenzie is the regimental tartan of the Seaforth Highlanders, who were raised by MacKenzie, Earl of Seaforth, in 1778. The clan held lands in Ross-shire and around Muir of Ord, but in the 12th century, they were removed to Wester Ross, (Kintail). The chiefly line of Kintail died out (as prophecisied by the Brahan Seer) and the MacKenzies of Cromarty were recognised as Chiefs of the Clan. Wilson's 1819 pattern book records various widths and weights of cloth suitable for the different ranks in the regiment. The 'hard' tartan of the period was known to cut the legs of the private soldiers. There is a certified sample in the Highland Society of London collection signed by Mrs MacKenzie of Seaforth (1816).

8. Campbell of Loudoun Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 3. Earliest known date: 1886 The rarest of the Campbell tartans, Loudoun is nevertheless, acknowledged by the MacCailein Mor, Chief of the Clan Campbell. It is similar to the Campbell of Argyll except for a different arrangement of black 'tramlines' on the blue stripe. The tartan may have its origin in the formation of 'Loudouns Highlanders' raised at the time of the '45 and disbanded in 1748 though a similar claim is made for another sett. The weavers, Wilson's of Bannockburn, produced many variations of the Black Watch, for the Highland regiments, by adding coloured stripes to the basic pattern. The sett was not published until 1886 when James Grant included it in 'The Tartans of the Clans of Scotland' published by W and A.K. Johnston, Edinburgh.
