MACLAREN (ANCIENT) - Tartans beginning with 'K' of special interest or antiquityAdopted by the MacLarens at the time of the levee (1822). The MacLaren differs from The Ferguson only in having a yellow line where the latter has a white. They share the unusual feature of an unbroken band of blue. The present tartan appears under this name in Mclan's plate for Clan MacLaren. Wilsons of Bannockburn were producing it before 1820 but only under the name of 'Regent'.
