    As Peter MacDonald deftly points out the perfect absence of any evidence to support DC Dalgleish's claims about the origins of 'Reproduction' colours casts their claim into the pit of Fanciful Invention.

    Please see pg. #3 of Tartan Colours found here: http://www.scottishtartans.co.uk/research.htm

    Pure speculation here, but I wonder if there is a grain of truth in the story of the discovery of a piece of tartan by a peat cutter, (albeit in a rather mundane location), that in turn inspired DC Dalgleish to create their Reproduction colours; and, as a marketing ploy, they in turn created the Culloden story to appeal to the romantics at heart?
