Three "new to me" kilts.....

[Johnnieboots]

All,

While perusing the internet last night eBay got me again.....I'm hoping the membership can help me out with some information in regards to the makers and the tartans.

Two of them are wool and have Made in Scotland tags on them, the other is acrylic and I'm sure made in Pakistan or some such place; I bought all three from the same seller because I like the tartans but I've no idea what clan they are and almost certainly no affiliation with any of the three as well.

Here is the first one, wool.....

Thanks, Johnnie.

The top one is Hunting Stewart. The other two are very familiar but I'll have to look them up because I can't remember their names!

I think the bottom one is Old Stewart.

It is hunting stewart... I can't believe I didn't remember. I only own a kilt in it!

Thanks guys.....any info on the middle one and on the makers of any of them??

The first kilts label bears a Edinburgh telephone number, (in the old style) A google search for the House of Kilt Making, Edinburgh, brings up:

I can't help you with the tartans. Maybe if you would post them in the "tartan place" section of the forum, the tartan encyclopedias might add their knowledge faster.

The maker/seller of the second kilt is written in the picture.
Hugh Macpherson
Highland Outfitters
17 West Maitland Street
Edinburgh

Near Haymarket.
I think they changed location and this is their new website.
Creagdubh might know more about them.

Nice Kilts by the way

The second kilt is made in Stewart of Appin tartan a mighty fine one if I may say ;) (although I may be slightly biased)

The maker of the middle kilt (sorry can't ID the tartan) is Hugh MacPherson of West Maitland Street Edinburgh. If you google Hugh MacPherson the third item from my search comes up with a 2010 X Marks thread which gives a lot of interesting information. X Marks members making contributions included creagdhubh and ThistleDown. You wish to contact these members.
