  • Notes:

    Some confusion surrounds this tartan. It appears first in 'Clan Originaux' (1880) as 'Macphail'. with this thread count: R8 B48 K24 G28 K8 LN6 (LN = light neutral[grey]). The STS also has an entry from the MacGregor Hastie collection with a count of R4 B46 K28 G32 K4 W4. STS also lists another entry (2158) with exactly the same count and the comments: "A modern interpretation of the MacPhail tartan in hunting colours produced for the whisky merchants, Gordon and MacPhail, by the weaving firm, Johnstons of Elgin. "  Johnstons state (Feb 2006) that this is in fact the normal MacPhail rendered in slightly different shades. Sample in STA's Collection.
