Hello from a newbie with problem naming a tartan

[Father Bill]

Hi and welcome. I hope you don't mind; I took the liberty of editing your link (added one bracket) to make the picture show. Meanwhile...

Welcome to the the "Great Rabble!"

Hi Jane, welcome from Seattle, Washington.

As that appears to be Regimental dress, the tartan will likely not identify either "Mac". A search by name of service records might be of help
http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/search...vice%20records to link the name to the Regiment.

Sorry I can't help with the tartan...But hello and welcome from Southern California.

Wow, that might be quite challenging based on the photograph! I will hazard a guess that is the Black Watch or a derivative.

By the way, welcome to the group.

I'd like to thank the group for the fine investigative abilities on the identity of Jane's photo relative. I caught myself telling my wife the few clues I could recognize (sporran, cap badge, spats type) with information I got from other threads of members.

I'm still learning and wanted the group to know. That is the reason this forum is the recommended authority.

Welcome from the highlands of New England. You are already getting some good help here. No doubt more will be forthcoming.
