Home or Hume Clan Tartan Tartan Number: 127. Earliest known date: 1842 D.W.Stewart says, "The tartan of the ancient and notable family of Home, though differing in colour, has the same scheme as the Grey Douglas. Both first appear in the Vestiarium Scoticum." Border 'Clans' are mentioned in an Act of the Scottish Parliament in 1587, but no evidence of a Clan tartan exists before the earliest date given here.

- Angus District Tartan Tartan Number: 1179. Earliest known date: pre 1906 It is not clear whether Angus tartan was intended as a District or a Family tartan and as a consequence it has been used as both. It is now firmly established as a tartan for all those people having a connection with the area. The name means 'The Only One', possibly refering to the Angus King of Dalriada in western Scotland in the ninth century. The name is associated with Clan MacInnes, who also claim descent from the Dalriada Scots. The Earldom of Angus was held by the Stewarts and Douglases and is now vested in the Dukedom of Hamilton.
