The Macdonald clan tartan predates the ACW so it would be within the realm of possibility.

Cameron of Erracht is the only tartan worn by a USA military unit.

There are lots of other options of tartans that would have been around back then.
Just a point of clarification, but the statement that the Cameron of Erracht tartan being the "only" tartan worn by a US Armed Foces unit is incorrect.

Besides the pipe bands at the US Military & Naval Academies, the US Air Force and the Air Force Reserves have maintained a pipe band, as well as the Sixth Army, the 7th Cavalry Regiment, the 191/91st Infantry Division (CANG) and several others listed on the US Coast Guard Pipe Band web site (although it is made up of current & former members of the USCG & USGC Auxillary).
