- 01/01/2002 — Maple Leaf Dress (register-of-tartans, record)
No further details. This differs from #6682 (original Scottish Tartans Authority reference) - Canadian Alec Lumsden's threadcount. If this was a D.C. Dalgleish design then one would expect it to be more accurate than #6682 (original Scottish Tartans Authority reference). If however it was a Dalgleish adaptation of the seven colour #6682 (original Scottish Tartans Authority reference) rather than a Dalgleish original design, that would explain why this only has five colours. - pre 2002 — Maple Leaf Dress (Dance) (tartans-authority, record)
Asymmetric. No further details. This differs from 6682 - Canadian Alex Lumsden's threadcount. If this was a D C Dalgliesh design then one would expect it to be more accurate than #6682. If however it was a Dalgliesh adaptation of the seven colour 6682 rather than a Dalgliesh original design, that would explain why this only has five colours.
