MacDonell of Keppoch in WOB Colours?

[BoldHighlander]

I decided to start a fresh thread on the subject so as not to further hijack the thread on tartans based upon military decorations:

Absolutely, I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately needless multiplication is here and running rampant with literally dozens of new tartans this year along, but I gain solace in the thought that the wheel will turn full circle and one day people will see the value of those truly old setts that we can date to the C18th Highlands.

I for one do Peter

Having said that, may I ask if you have a sample (photo) of the Macdonell of Keppoch in WOB colours?

I assume that you are referring to the standard Keppoch sett. This is an interesting one. Stewart includes it in his Old & Rare but the specimen that he cites is unknown, to me at least. There is a specimen of a very similar sett in the West Highland Museum with two blue lines on the red/green ground as opposed to the one in the Keppoch. I suspect that it is a Wilsons' piece but cannot get to over check it until next month. That said, there is no record of Wilsons weaving the Keppoch but if they did the colours would be the same as those in similar setts such as their: New Bruce (now Drummond/Grant), MacGillivray etc, etc. Here's my weaving of the New Bruce in their shades.
