Mixing tartans

[Jock Scot]

The Burns Check (sometimes called a tartan) is a c1950s pattern that cannot rightly be called a clan/family tartan. Whilst the trade sometimes call is such, there is actually a separate Burns tartan (principally red and green) that follows a more traditional design.

Thank you Peter for those details, I am familiar with the more well known Burns tartan, but me being me now that I know and even though I had actually mildly considered getting a kilt jacket made in the now identified Burns check pattern. I will now seek elsewhere.
