A most increable coincidence. The original Glenaladale plaid turned up out of the blue via an email to Matt.

This is just the most amazing story - to look for something for more than 20 years and then for it suddenly to appear ater more that 250 years. We can now say for certain that the current commercial weaves are completely wrong. Have a look at this.

Once I've got photos of the whole thing laid out I'll write it up in detail. For those interested there is some similar stuff here: http://www.scottishtartans.co.uk/research.htm
