"Murray of Atholl", or
"green Murray" probably originated ca. 1777 as the government
sett differenced with two red overstripes for the 77th
Highlanders (Lord Murray's Atholl Highlanders). Also known
as District of Atholl tartan. This was a variation on the single
red overstripe introduced by Lord John Murray in 1746 for grenadiers
of 43rd Highlanders when
he was Colonel of the regiment.
