STS notes: This tartan can be seen in a portrait by Sir Henry Raeburn. of Neil Gow (1717-1807) the famous Perthshire fiddler. Possibly the basis for the design of later tartans. The Gows or MacGowans were associated with the MacDonalds and the Clan Chattan. Gow is Gaelic for Smith meaning blacksmith. Gow's father was a 'plaid weaver' (Sutton/Carr). There apparently is a sample in the Highland Society of London Collection. Details from D C Stewart's 'Setts' . His comments were: "Next to Rob Roy, this is the most primitive tartan we have . . " Sample in STA Dalgety Collection.
