Notes:
This tartan, according to information from the old Highland Society of London Collection, dates to 1817. Clan Lamont is closely associated with Clan Campbell, and the tartan now worn by the Lamonts is like that known as Campbell of Argyll, except that the lines centered on the green are white only. In their 1850 book "The Clan and Family Tartans of Scotland" William and Andrew Smith of Mauchline wrote: "All the authorities we have consulted, agree in saying that this specimen is the correct 'Lamond Tartan' " Woven sample also in 1880 'Clans Originaux'. The tartan is also known as Argyll Campbell, Lamond, The 74th, and MacLamont.
