Registration notes: Sometimes known as Fletcher of Saltoun, but commonly worn by all the Scottish Fletchers regardless of family origins. According to legend, ''Is e Clann-an-leisdeir a thog a cued smuid thug goil air uisge 'an Urcha.'' (It was the Fletcher clan that first raised smoke and boiled their water in Glen Orchy.) Sample in STA's Johnston Collection. The original notes here said that this Fletcher was also in 1906 edition of 'The Tartans of the Clans and Septs of Scotland' published by W & A. K. Johnston, Edinburgh but that is incorrect - the version in that publication is actually #272 which agrees with the 1880 Clans originaux version. Lochcarron weave both versions. Blue lightened to show sett. Sample
