Recently while digging deeper into my family genealogy (in paticular my MacRanald/Keppoch roots) I discovered that if I went back to the early 11th century (approx 1020 A.D.) in my MacRanald linage that a large number of my ancestors were of Norse origin, via Norway or the Orkney Isles.

I know that there is a tartan called the Orkney Tartan (Scottish Register of Tartans #2681 -- see illustration below), but all I have found are computer generations of this tartan, some of rather poor quality of detail. Does anyone have a scan or photo of the actual tartan sett itself, and/or of a kilt made of this tartan?

Also, I noted that this tartan is listed as a "fashion" tartan. Does anyone know if its readily available, and if so who weaves it & in what weights its available in?

Thanks in advance.
