The tartan of the 92nd (Gordon Highlanders) Regiment of Foot; designed in 1793 by weaver William Forsyth of Aberdeen. With thinner black bands and with black guard lines added around the yellow over-check, it later became <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gordon_tartan,_tileable.png" title="File:Gordon tartan, tileable.png">the main Clan Gordon pattern</a>. It is essentially the Black Watch tartan but with a yellow over-check on green, and with the single black over-check on blue converted to double "tram lines" like the rest of the black over-checks. This image is <strong>not</strong> exactly full-sett, and <em>cannot</em> tile horizontally and vertically; this centred and very slightly zoomed-out version was created for tabular comparison to other regimental tartans. Scottish Register of Tartans notes on this pattern: "This sett has been recorded in a number of different places including the Cockburn Collection (held in the Mitchell Library, Glasgow), in 'The Scottish Gael' by James Logan (1830s) and 'The Clans of the Highlands of Scotland' by Thomas Smibert (1850)." This is a usual, mirroring tartan. SRT-provided thread count (in "/" notation, and with SRT's non-standard colour codes for extra-dark colours replaced with standard tartan colours, if for no other reason than to make the pattern actually visible): /B32 K6 B6 K6 B6 K32 G38 Y6 G38 K32 B30 K6 B6/ (or in boldfacing notation: <b>B</b>32 K6 B6 K6 B6 K32 G38 Y6 G38 K32 B30 K6 <b>B</b>6).
