I've been looking at this all month thinking the tartan looked familiar but I think what was throwing me was the irregular bit of blue by the red/pink pivot.

It would be interesting to have that reproduced one day. Most MacQuarries now use the tartan that is similar to the Lord of the Isles/MacDonald of Sleat tartan. But there are several older setts. I had this one made up a while back.


Although I must say I like the azure and rose colors in the one in your fragment. And if you think it dates back to the mid-1700s it is likely the oldest sett on record.
