    Charles' tartans

    I know I posted this photo, and Peter listed the tartans, on different posts in the thread The Kilted King in the Traditional Kiltwearing forum.

    However I thought it would be convenient to have the photo, and the tartans named, together in a single post here in The Tartan Place.

    Top row: 1. Duke of Rothesay 2. Prince Charles Edward Stuart 3. Royal Stewart 4. Lord of the Isles Hunting

    Middle row: 1. Black Watch 2. Hodden Grey 3. Old Stewart (ancient) 4. Gordon

    Bottom row: 1. Duke of Rothesay Hunting 2. King George VI 3. Hunting Stewart (ancient) 4. Dress Stewart 5. Balmoral

    I've updated the Charles collage in two ways

    1) added his new kilt (bottom left)

    2) removed photos of him in military uniform (the tartans were Black Watch and Hodden Grey)

    I've hunted online but I can't find a clearer photo of him wearing Dress Stewart.

    And although he has his grandfather's Royal Stewart kilt, his new one has more subtle shades.

    Thanks! Due to them in different light (indoors and outdoors) I wasn't sure if I was seeing two different kilts.

    Had I compared them side-by-side I would have seen that the sett is differently placed in relation to the selvedge.
