A sample of this is said to be in the Provost MacBean Collection and the STS notes say: "Whether the Wallace, which is known to date from at least 1842, and the Connel tartan are related is uncertain, although the close similarity leads one to suspect that the later 'Connel' is based on the Wallace. The Connels and MacConnels are both claimed as septs of Clan Donald." Sindex notes say Mackinlay strip from MacBean Collection, Inverness. A Connal (Red) sett was described in Nelson, Shaw & Macgregor catalogue in 1888. In James Cant's book of handpainted colour strips there is a handwritten note (possibly Jack Dalgety's) saying 'Pattern 1882.'
