| The red and white Menzies tartan appears in the
Cockburn Collection (c.1815) under the name,
MacFarlane, but this is taken to be an error on the part of
General Cockburn at a time when the establishment of
clan names for tartan was in its infancy. The same sett
was certified as Menzies, by the clan chief, in the
collection of the Highland Society of London (c.1816). The
tartan is woven in various colours, green, black, red and
white to the same design.
