Add to album

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

The pencil inscription above the samples reads, 'Old Sett (Jacobite)'.

Today's distinctive clan tartan patterns were created in the 19th century. Different combinations of colour and pattern, known as 'setts', varied from area to area and were later adopted by different families and clans.
