7. MacCallum Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 767. Earliest known date: 1893 D. W. Stewart wrote, "It is believed that the family (MacCallum), having lost trace of the old sett 50 or 60 years ago (i.e. 1832 - 1843), had the modern design prepared from the recollection of old people in Argyllshire; but the recovery of the original design shows that considerable deviation had been made." 'Old and Rare Scottish Tartans' recorded just 45 tartans, specially woven in silk, of particular interest or antiquity. Copies of the book are now valuable collectors items.

8. Graham of Menteith Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 698. Earliest known date: 1831 Logan describes the broad blue stripe as 'smalt', in his book, 'The Scottish Gael' published in 1831. Smibert also records this sett in 1850. However, in the text for McIan's Costume of the Clans (1845-47), Logan admits that this sett's antiquity is questionable. Menteith is the name given to the western branch of the Graham family. The Menteith District tartan is similar but the azure stripe is white. (See also Montrose, Menteith.)

9. Redland — ΔT 0.72
10. Murray (Variation) Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 271. Earliest known date: 1810-15 A simplified version of the Murray of Atholl. The Cockburn collection housed in the Mitchell Library in Glasgow, is one of the earliest references for clan tartans. James Logan, in his book, The Scottish Gael (1831), wrote concerning the Black Watch, that "...a red stripe is often introduced", and this by Lord Murray who commanded the regiment.
