- 01/01/2002 — Dunbar Plaid (register-of-tartans, record)
According to the Scottish Tartans Society this is from a plaid owned by Dunbar's, Invereen. Thread count has been reduced for display purposes. The red looks so dark because the count alternates between R1 and K1. See other tartan for same family at #6241 (original Scottish Tartans Authority reference). - undated — Dunbar, Plaid (weddslist, record)
