Baillie Clan Tartan WR278

|
| The pattern books of the old firm of weavers, Wilson's of
Bannockburn, provide a definitive source for the Baillie
tartan. Wilson's were in business with a monopoly to
supply tartan to the regiments. Wilson supplied the
MacLeods, the MacKenzies and the Campbells with
variations of the basic 'Black Watch' regimental sett. The
Fencibles regiments were formed as a 'home guard' at the
time of the Napoleonic Wars. Baillies Fencibles were
disbanded in 1802 and it has been suggested that it was the
white stripe.
