Recorded as the official Hannay clan tartan in Lyon Court LCB 54 dated 19th December 1984.
STS notes throw a little light on the confusing situation surrounding a plethora of Hanna/Hannay tartans:
"The Hannay tartan has been long established in the South West of Scotland. An old kilt worn by Commander Alex Hannay (1788 – 1844) was discovered by his descendant, Miss Anne Hannay, in the family chest and came into the possession of Councillor John Hannay, a well known tartan designer and collector. He created a new design based on the old which included a red stripe. This sett was produced around 1950 by Messrs Galt of Galloway. The black and white check is a common feature of Lowland tartans origin."
The Hanna of Sorbie has a lighter blue.
