    The Archers tartan might not get very far (perhaps an experimental weave only), but I should imagine that a good many MacDonalds (perhaps yourself included?) would like to wear the Borrodale sett in the colours you have so painstakingly recovered.

    Well, all things are possible. Other than academic interest I don't see much mileage for the Archers' tartan, even amongst current Archers. On the other hand, I would have thought that the Borrodale would have much more appeal. Anyone interested? Perhaps I'll take that on when I've cleared the current batch of reweaves including; MacDonald of Kingsburgh, 42nd per Wilsons' 1819 Coarse kilt setting, and the original 79th setting and shades. My son is getting married in early 2016 and I'm looking to get us both new kilts in something original. I'm quite taken by the Glenaladale but need to discuss with No1 first.
