MacArthur Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1100. Earliest known date: 1842 MacArthurs were at one time linked with the MacDonalds and this tartan has the same basic form as the MacDonald, Lord of the Isles sett. MacArthurs, in Skye, held land as the hereditary pipers to the MacDonalds. There is also an older MacArthur of Milton tartan whose design reflects the links with Clan Campbell.

- Wallace Hunting Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1101. Earliest known date: pre 2003 The design comes from the Vestiarium Scoticum (1842). The authors, the Sobieski Stuart brothers, enjoyed a popular following among the Scottish gentry in the early Victorian era, and in the spirit of the times, added mystery, romance and some spurious historical documentation to the subject of tartan. Of the better known tartans, the book offers some minor variation, but in other cases it provides the only recorded version of many tartans in use today.
