Sample in STA Johnston Collection. Slog of RWR : RWR is the correct version. Nomindex states that RWR : WRR specimens are liable to be seen at time but they are an error woven by Lochcarron Weavers – probably based on mis-information from the Tartans Society.
In Wilsons’ 1819 pattern book it’s noted that that was named after a merchant called ‘Waggrall’ which in its original form of Wagral is said to have been an Aberdeen name. No mention of any such name in Blacks ‘Surnames of Scotland.’
