    Had read the Joined Plaids.....The selvage.piece was most interesting. thank you.

    I joined the Tartan register just to get a thread count for this tartan...not sure why I like it so much. My tastes tend to wander towards the hunting colors.

    There are several entries for this tartan recorded by the SRT, such as this one. Uunfortunately none of them are correct. For a detailed dicussion of the origianl and subsequent copies see this paper.

    Thank you. I need to update it to consider the piece recently sold by L&T and also two specimens Braemar Castle. Have seen a picture of the latter but not had an opportunity to examine them yet. So much to do and so little time........
