    Wilson's of Bannockburn has a specimen in the Harrison & Co Sample Book, c1830-40. The tartan is close to Buchan, with the broad black bands becoming blue. The sett was adopted by the Buchan family around 1965 because of their long association with the Cummings. The sett is asymmetrical.  Sample in STA Dalgety Collection.

    The name MacIntyre (from Scottish Gaelic Mac an t-Saoir), means "son of the carpenter." Although no documented history of the clan exists, it is most commonly said to descend from Maurice Mac Neil a nephew of Somerled, the great 12th century leader of the Scottish Gaels. The current chief is Donald Russell MacIntyre of Glenoe.
