Looks like Blackwatch?

I like to think that the Black Watch and those other clans copied from the Lamont tartan

Matt tends to disagree..... OK so he is one the experts on here but it is my fantasy

Facts may prove me wrong, you can always tell a Scot but you can't tell him much. Dont confuse me with the facts

Sorry...but Matt is correct.

The clan tartans owe much to the regimental tartans; if you don't believe me, take a look at where the Camerons, Gordons and Mackenzies all got their tartans. :mrgreen:

I'm going to have to agree with George, after all the Lamonts are one of the oldest documented clans. So they must have been the first.

Am I missing something somewhere is this thread? It is my understanding that the 93rd Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders wore the tartan that is also known as the Campbell of Cawdor/District of Argyll tartan.

Someone correct me if I am wrong.

If I got the facts confused you will have to forgive me as this is my 999th post and I am about to become elderly.
