    Based on those salmon stripes and the triangulation of two wrong guesses I'm leaning towards Lorne now.
    None of the above. At least two other possibilities missing from the list.

Either the weaver made an error or the tartan is a bit more complicated than I had assumed.
    Now you're looking and on the right lines.

    I do enjoy reading these threads. So much to learn... Fascinating stuff.

    Is it a Maxwell tartan and the error is the grey-blue tramlines should be green?

    EDIT: Mmmmm, further research tells me the Maxwell is a Vestiarium Scoticum creation so probably not.


    Maxwell... It does look similar to me.
