Brodie
Brodie clan sett, first recorded in Smiths' 1850 manuscript; Aberdeenshire Brodies earlier wore Huntly District tartan.
The Brodie tartan groups 2 setts — the same named design recorded as different cloths (its kilt, Carpet, Child's…, or a transcription apart). The master sett (★) is the exemplar.
