Originally owned by J Telfar Dunbar and bought by the STS in 1966. This was a blanket spun, dyed and woven by a Christina Young and the date (1726) was stitched into the edge of the blanket with her initials (CY). This tartan forms the basis of the modern (1992) Young tartan. Originally preserved at the Scottish Tartans Society museum. The Christina Young arisaid is one of the oldest and most completely preserved specimens of homespun handlooming.
