I was looking at a linked site from another post:
http://www.btinternet.com/~james.mckay/lineage.htm

I noticed that modern amagamated units (I am upset that they have been reduced to a singular) used mixed tartans for the uniforms.
For example (on the Gordon Highlanders):
"In 1994 the regiment was amalgamated with the Queen's Own Highlanders. Their new title being The Highlanders (Seaforths, Gordons and Camerons).
Regimental Tartans

78th Mackenzie tartan, 79th Cameron of Erracht and the 92nd Gordon tartan.
It was decided that the regiment, less the pipers and drummers, should wear the Gordon tartan kilt and a patch of Cameron tartan in the Balmoral bonnet.
The pipers and drummers wear the Cameron kilt and a patch of Gordon tartan in the Balmoral bonnet.
The regiment as a whole also wear trews of Mackenzie tartan."

So, what about in the Civi-world????
Kilts, vests, bonnet patches, ties, scarfs, etc.

Relevant to me, as I am making matching Balmorals for each kilt I make myself-> Wallace, Carolina, and Caledonia already completed. The bonnets are the prodominant tartan colors and use a swatch of the tartan as the cockade/patch for a badge (of some sort). For example: the Wallace has a black body, yellow toorie, red (cotton) binding and tails; the Carolina has green body, red toorie, black (worsted wool) binding; the Caledonia is navy body, red toorie (wool) and binding/tails (cotton); each has a 2.5 or so square/rectangle patch made of the left over hair canvas (folded over and overlapped for strength and size) and tartan from the kilt waist band.
I read the above linked site and wondered about mixing them . . .

(Wallace bonnet with Carolina kilt, etc).
