This sett is based on an arisaid (blanket) that was spun dyed and woven by Christina Young in 1726

Designed originally in 1934 by the National Association of Woollen Manufacturers as a commemorative Scottish National tartan

Jamie Scarlett pointed out (April 2006) that it was interesting that the tartan for Rob Roy MacGregor's greatest publicist - Scott seemed to owe its origins to the Clan Gregor tartan of 1819
