Tartans & Crests
Ian C. MacLeod has kindly provided an updated "MacLeod Tartans-Summary" document that he prepared and which describes the 30 registered and 3 unregistered MacLeod related tartans that he was able to find. I am sure that everyone will find this very interesting and a couple of links are here for your viewing enjoyment.
Here is a link to a complete view of MacLeod Badges, Mottos and Coats of Arms.

Registration and Weaving of New Tartans (2003)
