A tartan of Clan MacGregor (Clan Gregor). Its design is pattern BKRWRW — the page of every tartan sharing this colour sequence.
The bold red-and-black check recorded as "Rob Roy" is a MacGregor tartan — named for the outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor (1671–1734). A specimen bearing the Seal of Arms of Sir John MacGregor Murray of MacGregor was collected by the Highland Society of London in 1815–16. It is curated under MacGregor, with "Rob Roy" kept as an alias.
The MacGregor 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.
