    A Ha! Found it.
    Here's the regular Macdonald modern tartan:





    And here's the Cameron of Erracht, as worn by the Queen's own Cameron Highlanders.




    Here's the blurb on it:
    On raising, it was decided that the red-based Cameron tartan would not be used, and instead a new design was devised. The Cameron of Erracht tartan was based on the Macdonald sett with the addition of a yellow line from the Cameron tartan, and the ommission of three red lines found in that of Macdonald.

    Cool, thanks! I actually know what one of my tartans is now! Just gotta get the other 2 posted some day for an ID.

    Hope it doesn't matter that I don't have any Cameron ancestry...

    Oops, forgot to also say I agree with the comment about the fell length. Comparing to the fit I've seen on others' kilts I think I need to re-estimate where the fell should be (or can be) ending on mine. Might be an opportunity for me to practice my hand-sewing and correct that! One of those details you don't realize the importance of when you first start making these I guess, eh?

    Both works are very nice. Who cares what the tartan is? Is someone asks, tell them it's an ancient MacTavish. Who'll know?
