STWR ref:	1066
Designer:	Not Specified
Tartan date:	01/01/1831
Registration date:	This tartan was recorded prior to the launch of The Scottish Register of Tartans.

Registration notes:	James Logan collected information for his book The Scottish Gael between 1826 and 1831. The MacNaughton tartan is also recorded by W and A Smith in their Authenticated Tartans of the Clans and Families of Scotland (1850). The Tartan Society entry carries on to say 'Other works contain a commonly reproduced error' but doesn't specify what error. The tartan closely resembles the MacDuff, which may bear out the claim that the MacNaughtons were originally a Moray tribe transplanted by Malcolm IV. The MacNaughton tartan is worn by the Vale of Athol pipe band. Sample in Scottish Tartans Authority's Dalgety Collection.

Please note

Where tartans were recorded before the establishment of the Scottish Register of Tartans (SRT) on 5 February 2009, the original Scottish Tartans Authority (STA) and the Scottish Tartans World Register (STWR) reference numbers have been retained. The new SRT reference number can be found in the address box on your browser (url).

The registration criteria now applied by the Register conforms to the Scottish Register of Tartans Act 2008. These criteria are different to those previously applied by either the STA or the STWR. You may wish to refer to the STA website for further information on the original recording of this tartan.
