The sample in the HSL Collection has purple for blue. Odd numbered thread counts due to halving of count to show full sett. This is much closer to that shown in William & Andrew Smith's 1950 'Authenticated Tartans of the Clans and Families of Scotland' in that the red and yellow bands are wider. The Smiths show a black guard on the red however. The earliest known date recorded from a list compiled by D C Stewart from Wilsons of Bannockburn letters is 1822.
