Notes:
First woven by Wilson's of Bannockburn, 1819. Recorded in Lord Lyon's Register of All Arms and Bearings in Scotland. (PRA 42/55). 17th May 1957. The threadcount is taken from a silk, satin-weave sash dated to 1822. In their 1850 book "The Clan and Family Tartans of Scotland" William and Andrew Smith of Mauchline wrote: "Our specimen is taken from cloth which has been manufactured expressly for the MacFarlanes." The sett can vary slightly from the one registered with Lord Lyon, often by the manufacturers' choice.

MacFarlanes, 'sons of Parlan', were proscribed and their lands forfeited, in the same way as the MacGregors. Many emigrated and some changed their name: Bartholomew is a Southern form of the name. The chiefship is vacant.
