So not the Araminta Birse-Stewart Balmoral tartan discussed here?

(Mods could you move this thread to the Tartans forum?)

No, most definitely not.

In all honesty I cant say that I like it, to my eye it is rather bland and disappointing. Still, its not me having to wear it!

Says it was based on a fragment from Glen Affric. Is it related to the Glen Affric tartan?

I'm struck with the similarity of structure and colours bewtween the new Balmoral tartan and the KCIII tartan, for example the two salmon (?) lines on the green field, and the major motif having broad dark blue bands flanking a pale centre.

I'm guessing that these relationships were quite intended.

They were but it would be inappropriate to explain further.
