    In 1821 a Leslie tartan was unknown to Wilsons of Bannockburn (Wilson letters). It is said to have been worn by George, 14th Earl of Rothes who died in 1841 and there is a Wilsons' sample from c1830-40 meaning that it must have been designed/adopted around that time. This sett is shown by Smibert (1850) and by W & A Smith (1850) but without the definition of 'Hunting'. In Clans Originaux of 1880, Duncan is also called Leslie of Wards. Also said to have been called Syme in an 1882 pattern book.
