| This plate is taken from the manuscript of William and
Andrew Smith's 'Authenticated Tartans of the Clans and
Families of Scotland'. The Smith's sources included the
findings of George Hunter, an Army clothier, who toured
the Highlands in search of old tartans prior to 1822.
MacAlisters are descendants of Donald of Islay, Lord of the
Isles. Contemporary accounts of Flora MacDonald (1746)
suggest that MacAlisters wore the MacDonald tartan at
that time. The MacAlister tartan certified by the chief in
1816
