- Notes:
This tartan is a Fashion tartan designed for ANYONE to wear.
The count was taken from a manuscript account book in the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland in Queen Street, Edinburgh. Woven by Lochcarron & House of Edgar. The pattern was said to have lain dormant for 160 years until it was revived in the 1960s by John Cargiill of Dundee and woevn by Ben Nevis Handlom Weavers of Dundee. Wilsons are known to have applied the names of town and cities to patterns where they sold well, or had been obtained from. No other reason can be found to link the pattern with the place. This tartan is mentioned by Telford Dunbar in his 1962 "History of Highland Dress" (Page145) when he states that it appeared in William Wilson's stock list in 1800.
This tartan dates from 1790.
