I'm 99.9% sure that the middle tartan is Campbell of Argyll.

Paul,

I can't, for the life of me, find a yellow stripe anywhere in that tartan. Can you point it out?

Cordially,

David

My graphics cards picking up two very similar shades of white... one slightly darker on lines. I think because this section of the picture isnt well-saturated and is very dark that this would be the yellow.
I mainly make my assumption of the tartan on the fact that there are black lines supporting the main green and blue frame, just like is found in the Campbell tartans.

Paul,

All of the tartans which are based on the Government/ Black Watch/ Campbell sett (e.g. Farquharson, "Campbell of Argyll", Lamont, Forbes, Murray of Atholl, Hunting Robertson, etc.) have the same black lines. You can see the lines in the two tartans below:

Forbes:

Lamont:

You'll note that the two tartans appear the same except for the presence of the black "guards" on the outside of the white stripe in the Forbes tartan. The original photo posted was too small to see whether these guards existed, hence the ambiguity of the tartan's identity.

Cordially,

David
