what is this?? (piper's plaid?)
Greetings,
I found this tartan item in my mom's cedar chest. It may be 75-100 years old (more or less). It is 27 inches wide and 128 inches (10 feet!) long! There are 3-inch fringes at each end. One long edge is hand stitched. Perhaps if it is a popular tartan, someone will even know which IT is! Pictures below.
Thanks for looking,
Richard

At first I thought Murry of Atholl but not quite right...perhaps Colquhoun? [also look at Hunter/Galbraith or MacKenzie]

MacKenzie Hunting Green
As to what, no idea.
Piper's plaid?

Pipers plaid was my thought too...

It looks like it could be MacKenzie (ITI 266). If the red is bordered with black, as is the white, then I would have thought it was the 78th Highlanders version (ITI 3600) of the Seaforth MacKenzie. Alas the resolution and color rendering on my monitor can sometimes be misleading, so I could be wrong.

On my monitor it appears both white and red stripes are bordered by black.

Thanks for all the help! The white stripe is bordered by a black stripe but the red stripe is not.

Are you sure? On my monitor, I'm seeing a border on both the red and white.

darn it, thought I finally had one here.
I withdraw my MacKenzie Hunting Green suggestion (has an extra blue/black bit in the sett)

I just checked. I looked REAL close and don't see any black bordering the red.
