| This is a modern family tartan designed by the
representer of the family of Cowan of Inveresk, in the
parish of that name in Musselburgh, Mr Robert Cowan of
Atlanta, Georgia. Cowans are a Sept of the Colquhouns,
variously spelt Macillechomhghain, Comhain, Comhan
and Cowen. Cowans not associated with the Inveresk
branch of the family may wear the Colquhoun tartan on
which this design is based. (P.E.MacDonald, 1982)
