Notes:
Based on the Maxwell sett (white line replaces green) which in turn comes from the Vestiarium Scoticum (1842). Details of the Clan Society's design came from Rhys A Pollock in America. J.C. Thomson of Arlington is thought to have had a large hand in the design. Pollocks were feudal dependents of the Maxwells who lived in the Scottish Lowlands. Based on Maxwell hunting -- with white line replacing green. See also: Maxton. Samples in STA Dalgety Collection. Lochcarron swatch in archives.


Traditional Scots cap, the Glengarry bonnet, is used as part of Scottish military or civilian highland dress. Can be used either formal or informal, or an alternative to the Balmoral bonnet or tam o' shanter. Zoa marries this traditional cap with the Pollock tartan paying specific attention to the details.
