What tartan is that

[Grizzly]

I think I know what it is, Although it took some research, was the cloth made by a company near a battleground? for the son of a member of the Clergy of somewhere like Tintern or Rievaux or Melrose?

As Kyle has posted the answer. I was trying to prolong it for a while and For anyone that didn't understand my cryptic response, I will explain it as follows. -

Company near a battleground - Wilson's of bannockburn

Tintern, Rievaux and Melrose all have Abbeys therefore an Abbott

Son of - Mac

Derivation of MacNab means son of the Abbott.

Therefore my answer is MacNab as designed by Wilson's of Bannockburn.

You look but you don't see

That's the bloke in the third rank with the fawn coloured Balmoral, matching tartan waistcoat and beard.

Now that's a look you don't see very often.

Is this not the 1819 MacNab (Smith) variant as designed by Wilson's?

The picture on my monitor is not clear.

I don't think so. Not the MacNab Smith variant. Looks to me like the MacNab Wilson's "Real MacNab" as shown here: http://www.dcdalgliesh.co.uk/tartan_found.rpy?id=473904

There's a young fellow behind him in the parade, wearing a kilt just like it, but in more modern colours.

I see what you mean Tobus, and on a closer examination I lean towards agreeing with you, but on my screen it's just not that clear from the original picture.

What's the difference?

Oh no. Look again.

Please explain, Peter.

You're all looking and seeing what confirms you 'think' you see.
