MacLaine of Lochbuie (Coburn) tartan
Clan tartan of Clan MacLaine of Lochbuie.
The Register says a sample survives in the Cockburn Collection at the Mitchell Library in Glasgow, from before 1810, and that Grant first published it in 1886. It adds that the MacLaines of Lochbuie once disputed the Maclean chiefship, and that the matter was settled by tanistry in favour of Duart.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “MacLaine of Lochbuie (Coburn)” — and say which colourway you want. “Modern” is dark and strong, “ancient” is lighter, “weathered” is muted. The sett is the same in each.
