After reading this thread, I decided to look at Tartan web sites and noticed that they go BOTH ways. The Scottish Tartans Authority website actually shows most (at least every one I looked up like:////

Also, A pic I appropriated (stole) from a kiltmaker website to use as Wall paper has it: //// (looking at it beside my window NOW! (It's X Marks Tartan -I think and the maker is Canadian-> That's all I'll say)


If I am thinking right, the angle either viewed sevage down and cut/rip up or cut/rip down and sevage up should be the SAME (only changing at a 90 degree angle of flipping back to front).

I know Barb (in person and in book) has it going: \\\\\


Yet, I find it hard to call the Scottish Tartans Authority website wrong.
Is it, or does it really matter?
