This is said to have come from Scott Bros of Hawick and was labelled Culloden, Stirling. A confusing profusion of Culloden tartans exist with various claims as to the source. This fairly standard sett is said (by Gordon Teall in District Tartans) to have been worn by a member of Prince Charlie's staff during the battle and to have first been documented by D.W.Stewart in 1893. Despite that, the same design has been attributed to Geoffrey Laird-Portch (Laird-Portch of Scotland) and claimed by Thomas Stewart Gordon of Messrs Thomas Gordon, Glasgow, who claimed to have designed both Culloden Dress (1323) and Blue Culloden in 1960. - undated — Culloden Blue, Stirling (register-of-tartans, record)
