• Notes: Asymmetric. STS entry reads: "Wilson's of Bannockburn made two patterns, 'Rae' and 'MacCrae'; Rae was Ross with green for red and all the other stripes in purple; in MacCrae the same treatment was applied to the red MacRae tartan except for the white overchecks which remained. (Scarlett-1990)" THis count from Wilsons 1819 Key Pattern Book. Sample in STA Johnston Collection - handwoven by Peter MacDonald. Peter MacDonald says (Key Pattern Book) that there are over a dozen patterns of this type which obviously have a common ancestor which was probably the Lumsden of the mid 1700s. (#869). Relevant tartans are Ross, Rae, MacRae and Marchioness of Huntly'and Princes Own.
