Like you I think I recall something about this ,but I can't say I have ever seen it ,or, perhaps I have never taken any notice.

There was also a vague suggestion that Clan Chiefs could have their own tartan.Why not? All it takes is a large dose of ego and money! Some one reminded me of this here,a wee while ago, somewhere, where I think it was a Campbell Chief had an extra stripe put into his tartan. I don't think it is in use today. I cannot think of any other Chiefly tartan, although there may be, I suppose.

In both of the above cases, I think they were mainly one of those pretentious figments of the Victorian imagination. Am I wrong?
