    As Mr. MacDonald (Figheadair) said, it is a District Sett. The image of the Duchess of Cambridge wearing the tartan scarf is most likely associated with that made by D.C. Dalgliesh Artisan Weavers in Selkirk, a favorite of myself and others on XMTS. They featured her image wearing said article, re-introducing the sett to the public.

    I was referencing that except for the Balmoral, many of the "Royal" tartans have gone the way of "universal". I'm not necessarily sure that they should. If we are to balance the actual history of "named" tartan phenomena with the significance attached to "clan" tartans through wont-&-use, then such respect should be observed in both directions.
