MALCOLM (ANCIENT) - Tartans beginning with 'C' and woven in ancient coloursThis is the correct version of the asymmetrical Malcolm as shown by the woven sample in W and A Smith's 1850 publication 'The Authenticated Tartans of the Clans and Families of Scotland'.

Stewart notes in his Nomindex 'Remarkable similarity to the Double Davidson.'
