Summary

Description
English: Swatch from Peter MacDonald in 1995. From a letter to J McKinlay (Gaucyhillock, Newmachar, Aberdeenshire) from Peter MacArthur & Co Ltd of Glasgow circa 1898. About 40 years previous (1858), MacArthurs had been approached by a Major Irvine (introduced by one of their big military contractors) looking to get an Irvine tartan made. MacArthurs got him to choose a sett with similar colours to the Forbes (of which Irvine was a sept) and they made a few kilt lengths. Letter extract in Dalgety Archives of the Scottish Tartans Authority. Scottish Tartans Society notes say that this tartan was 'first made by Peter MacArthur and Co, Hamilton'. MacKinlay, a tartan collector between 1930 and 1950, gives the earliest date as 1889 but it is not known upon what evidence. The name Irvine derives from an old parish name in Dumfries-shire, and from Irvine in Ayrshire. William de Irwyne obtained the forest of Drum in 1324, and is thus the ancestor of the Irvines of Drum.
