Threadcount taken from swatches supplied by Angus Charles Macalister, 5th Laird of Glenbarr. May 1989. This detail from a letter to Ruaraidh MacLeod from Eugene Planck of Colorado (and TECA) dated 28th June 1989. Sample in STA Johnston Collection. This sample comes from the MacGregor-Hastie collection which forms the basis of the cloth archive of the Scottish Tartans Society. This sett has been adopted by MacAlister Societies in America and Australia. The design can be related to the MacDonald group of tartans, corresponding to the lineage of the MacAlisters. The tartan is available from the Clan Macalister Centre at Glenbarr, to aid the restoration fund for the family seat. Sample in STA’s Scarlett Collection.
