Tartan sample, woven by William Wilson & Sons, Bannockburn, near Stirling

This tartan sample, mounted on paper, was woven by William Wilson & Sons, a tartan weaving firm from Bannockburn near Stirling.

The tartan is an example of Wilsons of Bannockburn's 'Hunting Stewart' as listed in their 1819 Key Pattern Book. The sample dates to c.1800-30

The pencil inscription above the samples reads ' ? HUNTING STEWART'.

After George IV's visit to Scotland in August 1822, tartan became very fashionable. The visit stimulated the production of tartan fabric, the creation of many new tartan patterns, and the research which identified the setts of each clan and family.
