Craig Family Tartan Tartan Number: 1574. Earliest known date: 1957 MacGregor Hastie wrote, "This tartan was designed by me to meet a long felt want. Many people have asked if there was a Craig family tartan, and as the name is not connected with any Highland clan, yet the the family name is numerous, it seemed a good idea to design one. The design is based on the general colour of craigs and rocks." The Craig tartan is now in general production. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015

- Cochrane (1984) Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 978. Earliest known date: 1984 Lord Dundonald originally registered a version missing a red and a green stripe in 1974. There is a story that a fragment of this design was discovered in the foundations of a Perthshire house in 1934. Around that time, a count was recorded from the sample books of Messrs William Anderson. The red and green have been restored in this version, which is now the 'approved' tartan, and appears in the 'Appendix' of the Lyon Court Books dated 12th November 1984.
