| The Hannay tartan has been long established in the South
West of Scotland. An old kilt worn by Commander Alex
Hannay (1788 - 1844) was discovered by his descendant,
Miss Anne Hannay, in the family chest and came into the
possession of Councillor John Hannay, a well known
tartan designer and collector. He created a new design
based on the old which included a red stripe. This sett was
produced around 1950 by Messrs Galt of Galloway. The
black and white check is a common feature of Lowland
tartans, origin
