The Scottish Tartans Society notes for this tartan attribute the design to the 'Onich Grocer' with no further explanation

Lady Mary Jacket (Lossie Blue Tweed) Size:22 The Scottish Tartans Society notesA fitted bodice is seamlessly tailored to combine with a luxurious peplum, giving a regimental yet feminine silhouette to this updated, timeless classic jacket. Purposefully tailored to allow being admired from every angle especially as the body moves. The hips are softened and flattered. The waist was gently pinched and emphasised. The back is styled to appear to lengthen the female form. A Victorian era doublet style structure advantages the bust.
