This tartan is attributed as follows in D.W. Stewart's  'Old and Rare Scottish Tartan' published in 1893: "Based on a piece of kilt believed to have been worn at Sheriffmuir. (13th November 1715) Olive green or Grey/green."  It is understandable that a MacRae tartan might show a similarity to a MacKenzie. Generations of them acted as MacKenzie's 'shirt of mail' guarding for them their castle of Eilan Donan and taking part in most of their conflicts. The similarity, however, could be coincidental.  This tartan probably dates to 1820.
