- June 1997 — Marjoribanks (Clan) (tartans-authority, record)
Design by Mr. John Marjoribanks and adopted as the official clan tartan in 1999. Sept name of Johnston so that sett has been used (see #1063) in conjuction with the colours in the Marjoribank's arms. Can be worn by anyone with the name however spelt. Marjoribanks is a pronounciation trap for the unwary - it is pronounced 'Marchbanks' just as Cholmondley is 'Chumly'. Weaver (Feb 2005) is D C Dalgliesh of Selkirk who usually keeps a supply of ties and scarves in stock (Tel: 01750 20412). - 01/06/1999 — Marjoribanks (register-of-tartans, record)
