- Ramsay Red Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 1238. Earliest known date: 1842 Ramsay was one of the names adopted by members of the Clan MacGregor when their own was proscribed. It is not surprising then that an early MacGregor sett was used as a basis for the Ramsay tartan. It is possible that the tartan was in existance long before the earliest recorded date given.
