A wee favor tae ask

[glenlivet]

Is there someone here who has a paid membership or subscription to the tartansauthority website? I was looking up the surname Wilson using the ferret, and several unexpected tartans came up alongside the ones I expected (I expected Wilson, Gunn, and Innes, as I'd read that Wilson can be considered a sept of either of the Gunn or Innes clans, I suppose depending on geographic location, or proven genealogical connection).

My real question is, since I don't have a membership, could I get one of ye lads or lasses who does have one, to look up why MacKay or MacFarlane came up. If you click on the button "Click for More Information," maybe it explains the connection there? There is no apparent connection in the free information.

I was thinking it might be because the source or designer was Wilson's of Bannockburn, but in two examples such as MacFarlane (Lord Lyon Sett), MacFarlane Dress, and Edinburgh District, the sources are either unknown, or at least not named as Wilson's.

I rather like the MacFarlane Lord Lyon sett. Would be neat to have a familial or geographic reason to adopt it. I do have a 3x great aunt (Wilson) who married a McFarlane in Stirlingshire. But that's a stretch...
