| The rarest of the Campbell tartans, Loudoun is
nevertheless, acknowledged by the MacCailein Mor, Chief
of the Clan Campbell. It is similar to the Campbell of
Argyll except for a different arrangement of black
'tramlines' on the blue stripe. The tartan may have its
origin in the formation of 'Loudouns Highlanders' raised
at the time of the '45 and disbanded in 1748 though a
similar claim is made for another sett. The weavers,
Wilson's of Bannockburn, produced many variations of the
Black Watch for the Highland Regiments.
