- Whitworth Artifact Tartan Tartan Number: 1724. Earliest known date: c.1790-1800 A piece of material 11x8 inches supposedly cut from a plaid worn by Prince Charles during the '45 rebellion. The piece was loaned to the Scottish Tartans Society museum in 1978 by Anthony Whitworth. The tartan expert, James Scarlett, noted that the sample was woven with a flying shuttle and appeared to be of commercial manufacture. He suggests that it may be a commercial copy of one of the many 'Princes Plaids' made c.1790. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 0.91

- Chattan Chief Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1851. Earliest known date: 1816 Also known as Finzean's fancy. The record of the Lord Lyon states, 'Note - this tartan is specifically for the Chief of Clan Chattan and his immediate family.' Logan descibed this sett (without the chiefs extra white line) thus: 'The Chief also wears a particular tartan of a very showy pattern.' It is illustrated by Smith in 1850. Chief of the Clan Mackintosh Sir Aeneas Mackintosh of that Ilk, acknowledged this sett as the Clan tartan in 1816. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 1.03
