- Oliphant Family Tartan Tartan Number: 242. Earliest known date: 1842 Also The Setts No: 210. W & A K Johnston, 1906. Often referred to as 'Oliphant and Melville'. There is a similar pattern listed under 'Melville' which is also worn by the Oliphants. There is no definitive provenance to distinguish one from the other, though the Vestiarium has proved unreliable in many cases. See MELVILLE.

- Johnston Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1063. Earliest known date: 1842 A powerful Border Clan who pursued a deadly feud with the Maxwells. Their stronghold was Lochwood Tower, near Beattock, which was burned down by the Maxwells in 1593. The tartan was first published in the Vestiarium Scoticum in 1842. Before that time Border tartans were generally un-named. More likely the tartan came from the Aberdeenshire Johnstons, whose family seat is at Caskieben, Blackburn. (Ref: The Setts.. No. 82.
