Summary

[edit]
Description

This is the Murray of Atholl clan tartan, sometimes just called "Murray" though there are other tartans by that name. It is also used by the Fife and Forfar Yeomanry/Scottish Horse (C Squadron of the Queen's Own Yeomanry); inherited from the original Scottish Horse. It has also been used as a uniform tartan by the reconstituted Atholl Highlanders honour guard from 1839 onward. There is no evidence of use of this pattern by the original Atholl Highlanders army regiment (1777–83), and a portrait of John, 4th Duke of Atholl, in Highland dress with his family in 1780 does not show this pattern. It appears to have been adopted by John Murray, 4th Duke of Atholl, in reponse to the Highland Society of London's solicitations of clan chiefs for clan tartans, as it appears in the HSL collection of 1816–22 and also appears in the Wilsons of Bannockburn Key Pattern Book of 1819, but is not attested earlier. The sett is the same as that of Murray Mansfield, except the latter lacks Atholl's black guard lines around the red over-check on green. The pattern is clearly derived from Black Watch.

This version of the image is full-sett and is tileable horizontally and vertically.

Scottish Register of Tartans notes on this sett: "Details from Wilsons of Bannockburn’s 1819 Key Pattern Book where is it simply called ‘Atholl’. An undated specimen in the Highland Society of London’s collection 1816-22 is simply labelled 'Murray'."
