• Notes: Tartans Society states that this is taken from the manuscript of William and Andrew Smith's 'Authenticated Tartans of the Clans and Families of Scotland'. The Smith's sources included the findings of George Hunter, an Army clothier, who toured the Highlands in search of old tartans prior to 1822. The Smiths said of this sett: " . . . . we give the pattern of this Tartan on the authority of a dealer, whose assurance, that he had often sold it to the Staffa Family, precludes from our own minds all doubts on the subject" Modern weavers have taken their word for it since this appears to be the current version.
