Tartan scrap IDs

[Tobus]

I recently received a bunch of tartan scraps that Barb T. was getting rid of. I'm planning some craft projects with them (patchwork blankets and/or quilts, for starters), but I first want to identify the tartans. There are a lot of them! I'll post a few at a time for IDs, then move on a few more at a time. So please check back on this thread if you're able and willing to help.

Here are the first three:

Here are the first three:


Sutherland - VS (1842).


MacLachlan - Logan (1831)

Skinner - Interesting story about this one. According to the STA records is was:

A tartan worn by a John Skinner in 1941. John was born in Dundee in 1873 and his father was a warehouseman in Baxters Mills in Dundee before the family emigrated to the USA in 1880. John's grandson (John H Beach of Yonkers, New York) sought to have the tartan identified by the Tartans Society in 1997 but there was no match so John named it the 'Skinner' in honour of his grandfather and it was recorded as such by Tartans Society. Not before obtaining permission from the Wallace Chief however since the tartan is very close to the Wallace.

Excellent! I figured those first two would be common. The third one did confuse me with its similarity to Wallace; I'm glad you knew the story behind it. Thank you.

Now on to the next three. These are from smaller rippings, but I think I've captured enough to see the full sett.

Stewart, Old (Weathered Colours)

Drummond/Grant - a rather poor rendition with an untypically narrow blue bar.

while that's technically correct, I'm a Grant so I call it 'Grant'. If I called it anything else my Grandad would rise up and have something to say to me. And then he'd see my wearing a gingham shirt under my jacket and roll his eyes and call me a dandy.
