    What tartan is this?

    I saw this on a Youtube video and really liked the tartan. Does anyone know what tartan this is?

    I believe that is the Tara/Murphy Tartan.

    close, but I don't think you get the ceegar

    Steve,

    It is close, but the one I saw on the video has a black/white/black/white/black stripe in it. The Tara and Murphy and their variants only have the black/white/black stripe.

    Who else has an idea?

    If you look carefully, you'll see that your pic is actually black-white-black-yellow-black. That's Tara/Murphy.

    Not being a jerk, just looking for clarification...

    OK, the Tara sett from left to right has two vertical "stripes" of black/white/black/yellow/black and a single vertical "stripe" of red/green/black/green/red. The single vertical "stripe" in the picture is the same as the double vertical stripes, black/white/black/yellow/black...no red or green in it at all.

    So, I am thinking that this is either a tartan other than Tara/Murphy OR it is a variant of Tara/Murphy. What do you think?

    I just really liked this tartan and was thinking of getting a kilt made in it, but I want to be sure of the name before I ordered one.

    As always, thanks to anyone and everyone for their help.

    Larry
