    I also agree with your last statement, which contradicts your first somewhat: without an answer as to why this tartan came about when HS already has a tartan, it is hard to explain the need for a change.

    cajunscot I am confused. You posted this article about the new kilt:

    http://news.scotsman.com/scotland/Ca...-in.3921441.jp

    which says.

    "The new tartan is part of a branding initiative set up by Historic Scotland last year."

    It would appear that Historic Scotland is re-brand. Why you have to ask them.

    Exactly my point; why the re-brand? I read the article, but that really isn't much of an explanation. What was wrong with the old tartan? That's all I want to know. And yes, I know...you don't know.

    Sorry to confuse you.
