For years, countless articles have repeated the claim that a certified Seaforth tartan sample from 1816 existed, but no one ever seemed able to show it.
That changes today.
The Clan Mackenzie Initiative has located and published what appears to be the first publicly accessible images of the 1816 Seaforth tartan, directly linked to the Highland Society of London and signed in the name of M E F [Mary Elizabeth Frederica] Mackenzie of Seaforth.
A century old reference has now became a visible reality and adds a whole new chapter to Mackenzie history.
