Fair enough. I will note that houseoftartan.co.uk dates the Broun tartan (I believe it's the one you are discussing) to the 1850 edition of the Scott Adie collection. If that is the case, then this story seems to fall apart. Prince Albert was still alive in 1850. 11 years later he died and Victoria sought solace in the highlands.
If anyone has access to that book, it would answer this definitively.

Reason: I didn't like how my sentences flowed. Only high quality style on XMTS :)
