    The tartan in the photo I posted is called, Spirit of Scotland.

    To view a bigger swatch, go to the Scottish Tartan Authority (the official overseer of registered tartans)
    http://www.tartansauthority.com/web/site/home/home.asp
    Click on the tartan ferret; in the tartan name input box type 'spirit of scotland' & hit enter; click on 'spirit of tartan' hot-button; a separate window will open with the tartan which you can maximize for best viewing.

    FYI, this is the actual webpage I copied the photo from.

    As for the kilt pin in the photo, I realize you can't see it real clear because of the angle the model is standing at, but the kilt pin looks like a giant safety pin. I just wanted to illustrate that it's quite common for women to wear a kilt pin on their kilt skirts.

    After all was not the kilt pin invented by a woman? Queen Victoria? Dirka you could search ebay for brooches. This is what I'm doing to find a maple leaf for my forthcoming Maple Leaf tartan, I'm alsp looking for a trillium brooch for when I get my Ontario Provincial tartan.

    Dirka, if you like that tartan, check out this one. It's cause a lot of monitors to steam up lately.
