By the way... funny you should mention the Lamonts. I believe our piper (also named George) said he was a Lamont. The whole day ended up being a bit of a blur and I'm not patient enough to try and count plaid stripes to see, but... I'm 90% positive that's what he said. What do you think?
They are so similar everyone kept asking us if we were in the same clan. Interesting to think we should have been scrapping the whole time. I'm sure the women at the wedding would have loved to see that...

From the picture they look identical, I can't even tell you the differences between the two tartans. Most of the Campbell tartans that I have seen have been the dark Black Watch looking versions. I like the Ancient Lamont and now your Ancient Campbell vs the darker versions of both.

The piper's tartan looks like the Russell/Galbraith/Mitchell/Hunter tartan.

I really liked the lighter, more muted colors in the ancient tartan, as well.
There are some subtle differences between the two. George's tartan has the white stripe going through the blue background while the ACA tartan has it going through the green. His tartan also has a bit more red in it.
Alright... now I'm forced to email George the Piper and verify what tartan he wears.

Campbell of Argyll doesn't have any red in it; Campbell of Cawdor (Argyll district) does, though.

Sorry... my intended inflection didn't come across clearly in the text.
George's has some thin pin stripes of red in it and mine has none, so his has "a bit" more.
