- Murray of Tullibardine Family Tartan Tartan Number: 441. Earliest known date: 1850 (1679) James Grant, in his book, 'The Tartans of the Clans of Scotland' (1886) says, "That tartan called the Tullibardine is a red tartan, and was adopted and worn by Charles, the first Earl of Dunmore, second son of the first Marquis of Tullibardine ..in 1679 (he) was lieutenant Colonel of the Royal Grey Dragoons..." The same sett is shown in the earlier work of the Smith brothers, 'Authenticated Tartans..' (1850) This is the sett shown in the famous picture of the Chief of the MacLeods, Normand MacLeod, at Dunvegan Castle. See 'Red MacLeod'.

- MacFarlane Red Artifact Tartan Tartan Number: 947. Earliest known date: 1822 The threadcount is taken from a silk, satin-weave sash, (1822) in the collection of the Scottish Tartans Museum in Comrie, Perthshire. (Reproduced at 50% actual count.) The sett varies slightly from the one registered with Lord Lyon but is often the manufacturers choice. MacFarlanes, 'sons of Parlan', were proscribed and their lands forfeited, in the same way as the MacGregors. Many emigrated and some changed their name: Bartholomew is a Southern form of the name. The chiefship is vacant. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 1.27
