Pattern No232 or Regent became MacLaren at some point shortly after the Prince Regent became King Goerg IV. It is similar to, or vice-versa, the Ferguson, both Wilsons' designs, as was the Grant, Hunting . This Grant, Hunting sett should not be confused with the 42nd tartan which a number of other families also wear.
It's a jump to say that the MacLaren is a simplified version of the Grant, Hunting; It could equally be described as a simplified version of Royal Stewart in a 'hunting form'. The truth is that there were a number of variations on a theme produced inthe early 1800s and the MacLaren and Grant are but two.
