The Clan Cameron has a recorded history from the fifteenth century, although unsubstantiated histories have its roots reaching back to the supposed first chief, Angus Cameron, living about the year 1000.  They resided in the "Cameron Country" of Lochaber, an area roughly 12 by 16 miles near the present day town of Fort William, in Scotland's West Highlands.  The history of the Camerons, as a Scottish clan, is an extensive and often combative one, for that was how men learned to survive and live another day. Cameron of Lochiel:  This red and blue tartan is similar to that worn by the 18th Chief, Donald "The Gentle Lochiel" Cameron in a portrait hanging at Achnacarry.  It was first illustrated in 1810 in Wilson's Collection.  This is the personal tartan of the Chief and his immediate family; as a rule it should not be worn by clansfolk.

Campbell

EST after 1962 through the 1970s

The name Campbell seems to come from the Gaelic Cam Beul, which translates as Crooked Mouth. The users of this name are known to have been around as a powerful family even in the time of the ancient kingdom of Dalriada, though the earliest Campbell to be found in written records is Gillespie of east-central Scotland, who had lands in this area granted to him in 1263.
The Campbell tartan is also known as the Campbell of Argyll, or Campbell of Lochawe. In the late eighteenth century this tartan was in use by the Duke of Argyll. The tartan is the Black Watch tartan with additional white and yellow stripes. Later Dukes sought to exclude the white and yellow stripes, which they claimed were only used to distinguish Chiefs.

Macleod

EST after 1962 through the 1970s

Clan MacLeod is a Highland Scottish clan. The Gaelic form is Clann Mhic Leòid. Clann means children, while mhic is the genitive of mac, the Gaelic for son, and Leòid is the genitive of Leòd. The whole phrase therefore means The children of the son of Leod. The Clan MacLeod is made up of two branches, Siol Thormoid (the MacLeods of Harris and Skye) and Siol Thorcuil
The best known MacLeod tartan is “loud” MacLeod, a yellow tartan with three broad black bands and a narrow red line. The tartan was designed in 1841 as “MacLeod.” It is sometimes called dress MacLeod and MacLeod of Lewis, but it was designed long after the family of the Lewes had ceased to be chiefs. Any MacLeod may wear the tartan

Royal Stewart

EST after 1962 through the 1970s

The Royal Stewart Tartan is the tartan of the royal House of Stewart, and is also the personal tartan of Queen Elizabeth. It is said to be appropriate for all subjects of Elizabeth to wear the Royal Stewart tartan, much in the same way that clansmen may wear the tartan of their clan chief. Officially, the tartan is worn by numerous military groups, and a select few civilian groups. The 5th Potters Bar Scout Group wear the scarf officially, with permission from the Queen, and the Queen's Bands (of Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario) wears the tartan as part of their official uniforms. In the late 1970's the Royal Stewart tartan became popular in punk fashion, possibly because of the influence of Rod Stewart and the Bay City Rollers. The tartan had become well known in motor racing circles a decade earlier, as three-time Formula One World Champion Jackie Stewart used a distinctive band of Royal Stewart tartan around his crash helmet.
