Provenance

James Logan recorded the Lamont sett in 1831, on page 404 of the Table of Clan Tartans in The Scottish Gaël — the earliest systematic published collection of clan setts. Logan gives the stripe widths in eighths of an inch, measured across the cloth and reflected about each end (a half-sett):

2½ blue · 1½ black · 1½ blue · 1½ black · 1½ blue · 6 black · 6 green · 1½ white · 6 green · 6 black · 6 blue · 1½ black · 1½ blue · 1½ black · 6 blue · 6 black · 6 green · 1½ white · 6 green · 6 black · 1½ blue · 1½ black · 1½ blue · 1½ black · 4½ blue

In threads (at 8 to the eighth-inch) that is B/20 K12 B12 K12 B12 K48 G48 W12 G48 K48 B48 K12 B12 K12 B48 K48 G48 W12 G48 K48 B12 K12 B12 K12 B/36. Logan named his colours rather than dyeing to a standard, so the palette here is the Dictionary's modern reading of his names.

See Logan's Scottish Gaël for the full table and method.
