    You know, there are actually a number of MacDonald of Clanranald tartans. Liam posted the one that the STR calls "MacDonald of Clanranald #5" , STWR #475.

    On the other hand, MacDonald of Clanranald STWR #425 seems like a good match.

    Agreed. It is called MacDonald of Clanranald in the Vestiarium Scoticum (1842) but there is a sample labelled as Glengarry in the Highland Society of London Collection (1816).
