A better setting for the Murray of Atholl
I've been working on the older settings of some military tartans based on the Government sett. I've always found the setting for the 77th tartan (the Atholl Highlanders) and now simply called Murray of Atholl, somewhat unbalanced compared with that of the 78th. Apart from one red strip in the former being white in the latter, the difference between the two is the lack of a black guard to the red in the 77th/Atholl.
I've recently had a length woven with the K guard added to the R too. I think it makes a more robust and visually pleasing setting. Thoughts?
