Cameron of Erracht...
A bit o' trivia about the Cameron of Erracht tartan. It is actually a military tartan that has been adopted by the Camerons, but it was orginally designed by Alan Cameron's mother, who was a MacDonell of Keppoch, and is a combination of the Cameron and the MacDonald tartans. Alan Cameron of Erracht raised the regiment in 1793 under warrant. The Camerons were also the last regiment to wear the kilt in battle in 1939-1940 in Europe.
Cheers, 
Todd
