Notes:
In 1821 a Leslie tartan was unknown to Wilsons of Bannockburn (Wilson letters). Tartan Society records: said to have been worn by George, 14th Earl of Rothes who died in 1841 and there is a Wilsons' sample from c1830-40 meaning that it must have been designed/adopted around that time. This sett is shown by Smibert (1850) and by W & A Smith (1850) but without the definition of 'Hunting'. These colours similar to Kilbarchan sample. See #1112 Duncan which is, in Clans Originaux of 1880, also called Leslie of Wards. Also said to have been called Syme in an 1882 pattern book. When woven for the KOSB the black and blue are so dark as to be virtually indistinguishable and the green is extremely dark. Swatch from Wm.Anderson & Sons of Glasgow. Second swatch in October 2004 from Glover & Riding, Military Tailors of Aldershot.
