| The tartan of the Clan Revan, so called after Revan
MacMulmor MacAngus MacQueen, who led kinsmen of
the MacDonald bride for the 10th Chief of the
Mackintoshes, to take protection from Clan Chattan. The
sett was unnamed, as far as we know, before publication in
the Vestiarium Scoticum (1842), but this source is
unreliable. It has much in common with the Fraser and
the Gunn tartans, both of which have four bold stripes, but
the origin is more likely to have come from a combination
of the MacDonald and the Mackintosh.
