- 01/01/1842 — Ogilvie of Inverarity (V.S.) (register-of-tartans, record)
This is Ogilvie (no terrirotial suffix of Inverarity) as included in Vestiarium Scoticum. According to D.C. Stewart, the text in the VS allows the yellow to touch the black but the illustration in V.S. shows them separate as seen here I(and as checked by Brian Wilton - June 2006). This seems to have become Ogilvie Hunting but see also this sett in different shades at ITI 6082 which is reserved for the Ogilvie family only. - 1842 — Ogilvie of Inverarity - 1842 (V.S.)
