Name these Tartans

[OC Richard]

I think you're right, Hunter.

Though the photo is too small for me to see the tartans in detail.

I would expect the double-track motif on the Black Watch, and the vivid blue line on the Black Stewart, but I can't actually see them in that photo.

Black Stewart, a tartan I'm very fond of, has long been worn by the Prince Charles Pipe Band of San Francisco. Here you can see that they have their band kilts pleated to the line.



Black Watch's "double track motif". Note that in the blue squares the line-pairs alternate between being single, and doubled.

(This is Black Watch in Ancient Colours.)

Richard, I don't think it's your eyes. There are no tracings running through the blue blocks. I do not thing it is Black Watch. But, I do concur with the Black Stewart, pleated to the white stripe, in the red blocks.

As has been said, the quality of th ephoto is poor but by lightening the image it's just possible to see the single tramlines on the blue. It's a reasonable assumption that the double tramlines are there too, just not visible and that this is the Black Watch/Campbell etc tartan.

I stand correct. Squinting at the screen long enough, I can almost see the tram lines.
