Although I do like both, I like the Murray of Atholl more. My reason, I just simply find it more pleasing to my eye and has mentioned, it is simply a beautiful tartan. Also with the connection you have to it, the sense of pride you would have every time you wear it. The history behind it. You will find it will go with a good lot as well. I say Murray of Atholl, a splendid choice.

While I'm quite partial to the Murray -- and would certainly choose it for myself -- I think Jamie makes a very good point, so I vote for the Dark Douglas.

To my mind the Dark Douglas is dark, too dark. It might just be the swatch and my computer but I can't see enough contrast. Will the pattern be discernible from any distance or will it look like just one colour. If the pattern is not discernible, then what's the point - why not just get a single colour kilt?

Douglas all the way!

Well, what did you expect me to say?

I am a big fan of weathered tartans, so having a second would not be a problem to me.

Why not? The Atholl Highlanders have a long and proud history in service to the Duke, and many of its members were veterans of the Scottish Horse Yeomany Regiment, which has seen service on many a foreign field since the Boer War.

Of course they do. Must you always be so quick to take offense?

If it helps, here is the Murray of Atholl tartan that I think is a better choice.

And I wouldn't want to be on the business end of that firearm, either.

Apologies if I implied that I was offended; I wasn't. Believe me, I know where you're coming from, as my clan's surname has a very different (and vulgar) connotation in popular speech. I've actually had people make jokes about it, but I will not bow to it.
