| D.C.Stewart wrote concerning the MacNicol tartan,
"Cloth has been woven purporting to show the correct sett,
but the sett seems intended for that appearing in McIan's
drawing, where no such claim is made for it. The drawing
admits of many interpretations; the sett given here is one
such reconstruction...". In 1980 the Nicholsons and the
MacNicols became separate clans. When Lord Carnock
was recognised as Chief of the Nicholsons, Lord Lyon
accepted a petition from Ian Nicholson of Scorrybreac,
Chief of the MacNicols.
