There was also a McDuck Tartan(named after Uncle Scrooge McDuck of course)

I think it was similier to the Shrek, but I've slept since that thread so I'm not sure.

I hope I don't post this twice, if so, please to forgive.

Check out this article on the Shrek tartan. Complete with pictures!

I'd be interested in the Shrek. I like it.

And if you watch the Shrek movies and look closely, it's the tartan in the trews that he wears.

Actually, the Welsh tartans aren't asymmetrical. An asymmetric Scottish tartan has identical warp and weft, but the repeat is something like

ABC ABC ABC ABC (no pivots, no mirror points)

rather than

ABACABAC (pivots at B and C)

The Welsh tartans typically have different warp and weft, although each is symmetrical. So the warp might be

ABACABAC

but the weft might be

ADACADAC
