- undated — Anderson of Ardbrake Clan/Family Tartan Tartan Number: 7024. Earliest known date: 2006 May Designed by David A R Waterton-Anderson, Chairman of the Anderson Association in answer to requests from some members for an Anderson tartan with with a red, rather than a light blue bakcground. His notes on the design are as follows: "The Anderson family of Ardbrake in Banffshire is amongst the principal families of the name. Evidence from many sources over five centuries show a high intermarriage and association with the powerful clan Gordon plus many other families in the north-east of Scotland, many of whom have tartans in strong red hues. The majority of tartans ascribed to the name Anderson embody a clear motif of a broad white and two yellow (tramline) stripes set on black and this new design follows this traditional feature."

- Anderson Family Tartan Tartan Number: 1394. Earliest known date: c.1900 The distinctive and elaborate Anderson tartan can be found in many minor variations dating back to the beginning of this century. The Highland Society of London began to collect specimens of tartans in 1815, but the Anderson sample appears to have been added at a later date, there being no reference to its place in the collection in early records. Anderson is recognised as a name in more than one of the Highland Clans including Clan Ross and Clan Donald. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 1.05
