| The Dundas tartan originated in the Vestiarium Scoticum
(1842). The design has the traditional green, black, blue
background of the Highland military tartans with twin red
stripes on the green. Dundas's played an important role in
restoring the Highland way of life after the penalties
imposed as a result of the '45 rebellion. It was Henry
Dundas, who in 1784, introduced the bill to parliament
restoring estates forfeited to the Crown after the uprising,
following the repeal on the wearing of tartan in 1782
