Notes:
Scottish Tartans Society entry records that this count is from a pair of trews owned by a William Akins circa 1820 but the same count - with minor changes - resurfaced in 1996 when the US Clan Akins Society recorded it saying it had been presented to them and approved on St Andrews Day 1995. The old thread count reads: LB6 G44 DB38 M6 C6 M6 C6 M42. The newer count reads LB6 G32 B30 C6 S6 C6 S6 C32. There is no Akins Chief but the three Akins tartans seem to have been approved by the Clan Akins Society and are therefore categorised as 'Clan/Family'
