Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: This version of the image is not exactly full-sett, and cannot tile; it is centred and zoomed out for comparison with other tartans given similar treatment.
Scottish Register of Tartans notes on this design: "Also known as William Wilsons No. 155. Popular in the [late!] eighteenth century this particular tartan appears in a number of guises. Romantic stories are told of its origin but in reality little is known (Gordon Teall, Scottish Tartans Society). Jamie Scarlett MBE asserts that Wilsons' No 155 has never been named, and that Miss Margaret MacDougall was in error when she included it in Robert Bain's 'Clans and Tartans of Scotland' (1953) as Caledonia. It is included here because of its obvious family resemblance to other Caledonia setts. Wilsons of Bannockburn a weaving firm founded c1770 near Stirling. The Pattern books are in the National Museums Scotland, Edinburgh." This is a regular, mirroring tartan.
