1. MacNab — ΔT 1.41
2. MacKay Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 703. Earliest known date: 1816 Wilson's of Bannockburn (1819) record the same sett with blue changed to purple. Logan calls the colour 'corbeau' which is in fact a dark shade of green. The pattern shows a marked similarity to the Gunn tartan in all but colour, suggesting a territorial origin for both. Recently historians of Scottish dress have tended to stress the geographical sources, rather than the clan associations of the earliest Highland tartans. A sample was signed and sealed by the Chief for Highland Society of London in 1816. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 1.52
