Perhaps, just perhaps, but which one????

So actually, what I thought was the case is true, and what I was being told was the case was wrong. Spin, spin, spin!

Wilson's is the oldest registry right, what are the oldest registered tartans. Say the top five.

Right! The Modern Colours are older than the Old Colours! There are some old tartans (and some new ones) which don't neatly fit into one category or the other due to blending of shades.

I believe Wilson's produced the oldest tartan pattern books, so I'd say yes. I'm not a tartan historian, mind you, but I would a hazard a guess that Black Watch, Royal Stewart, Gordon, Mackenzie (Seaforth Highlanders), and Cameron of Erracht are among the oldest "official" tartans.
