[53] The highly controversial “Vestiarium Scoticum”, published in 1842 (John Sobieski Stuart. Vestiarium Scoticum: From the Manuscript Formerly in the Library of the Scots College at Douay. Edinburgh: William Tait, 107, Prince’s Street, 1842.), is regarded as the first published indication of tartan pertaining to specific Scottish clans. It was later determined to be a forgery. http://www.tartansauthority.com/tartan/the-growth-of-tartan/vestiarium-scoticum/ (For the full anaylsis of the forgery, see Calder Stewart, Donald, “Scotland's Forged Tartans: An Analytical Study of the Vestiarium Scoticum”.
