Maclean of Duart tartan is red with black, and touches of yellow,

Battleaxe, a kinsman of Fergus Mor, the sixth-century-ruler of the
ancient kingdom of Dalriada. Lands given to the clan chief included
the isle of Mull, off the west coast of Scotland. During the 16th
century the Campbells emerged as the most powerful clan in the West
Highlands. Several marriages took place between the Macleans and
the Campbells. Septs of the Maclean clan include Beaton, Black,
Dowart, Dowie, Duart, Garvie, Gillan, Lane, Lean, Leith, MacBeth,
MacCormick, MacFadyen, Macgeachan, MacVey, Patten and Rankin.
Scientists, thinkers and writers in the Scottish Enlightenment used
'commonplace notebooks' to record thoughts and ideas. Many British
writers such as Virginia Woolf and Arthur Conan Doyle continued to
use them. Tartan belongs to Scottish heritage and culture, and
thrives today both at home and overseas. There are now over 7,000
tartans officially recorded in the Scottish Register of Tartans
located within the National Archive of Scotland. Waverley Books
(Waverley Scotland) are delighted to innovate on the commonplace
notebook idea with the Waverley tartan notebooks bound in genuine
tartan cloth supplied by kilt makers and tailors Kinloch Anderson,
Edinburgh.
