  • Notes:

    This is the sett shown in 'Clans Originaux' (1880).  It is essentially the same sett as Logan and McLagan. D C Stewart says, ''The group of five red lines is often seen with the lines equally spaced, and even equal width. The earlier arrangement here shown is preferable.'' Dr. Micheil MacDonald suggests that Logan (possibly "Lobban") was an alternative name for MacLennan rather than a separate clan. Alternative names or aliases are not uncommon in early Scottish records. ('The Clans of Scotland', M. MacDonald, 1991) . The official sett often differs from commercially woven versions in that the central red line, the green and the blue bands are all wider.
