Having had a re-read of the Dungiven paper I can't find anything in it that suggests, or would indicate, that the tartan was woven in Ireland as opposed to Scotland.

The way in which the cloth was cut and the trews constructed indicates that they were professionally made as opposed to being done at home. The similarity with the Scottish Dava Moor trews may well demonstrate a common construction style and/or supplier.

Terry,
great stuff. I look forward to reading more as this conversation develops.
