Scottish Tartans World Register: Hamilton

Hamilton (Red) Clan Tartan WR477
|
|
| First recorded in the Vestiarium Scoticum which was
supposedly based on an ancient manuscript now known to
have been forged. The original illustration shows the four
main stripes in a very dark shade of blue. There is no
evidence of a Hamilton tartan prior to the publication of
this spectacular work. The authors, the Sobieski Stuart
brothers, enjoyed a popular following amongst the
Scottish gentry of the period and it is probable that the
design can be attributed to Charles Edward Stuart (Allan
Hay) .
