MACDONALD OF THE ISLES HUNTING (MODERN) - Tartans beginning with 'T' The colours in the tartanScottish Tartans Society notes: The design first appeared in the Vestiarium Scoticum and is different from earlier setts attributed to the Lord of the Isles or to any of the Clan Donald branches. It is not generally regarded as a clan tartan. The Sobieski Stuart brothers who published the Vestiarium claimed to be the heirs to a manuscript once in the hands of Prince Charles Edward Stuart himself but the original was never produced for public
