- Notes:
-
Contains the following note ‘same cloth as "sealed in the Highland Society of London Collection Seal of Lamont of Lamont dated 9th January 1817".’ The white line is silk. Clan Lamont is closely associated with Clan Campbell, and the tartan now worn by the Lamonts is like that known as Campbell of Argyll, except that the lines centered on the green are white only.
In their 1850 book "The Clan and Family Tartans of Scotland" William and Andrew Smith of Mauchline wrote: "All the authorities we have consulted, agree in saying that this specimen is the correct ‘Lamond Tartan’ " Woven sample also in 1880 Clans Originaux but difficult to check the sett – bad photo (BW June 2004).
