I suppose I can make a couple of guesses and one non-guess.
Use: indeterminate
Date: 1790-1820
Location: Atholl
I don't really have any strong reasons for my guesses, just slight hunches.

Not sure which are the guesses and which the non-guess but they're all off the mark.
Use: Can by surmised.
Date: Too late by 40-50 years at least.
Location: Probably too far east.

The non-guess was the first one, although I suppose "indeterminate" is itself a hypothesis.
All right, new guesses:
Use: belted plaid (if for no other reason than to eliminate it from the list of possibilities)
Date: ca. 1746
Location: Appin
I feel like I'm playing Battleship.

I love puzzles, but have no idea how to proceed on yours. They're just too hard! West of Athol? Grant, Fraser?

F4!
No, seriously, you're very close.
Use: Probably, certainly a plaid.
Date: Give or take 20 years.
Location: Certainly west of the Highland Fault Line.
I'll run up a little paper on the piece and get it up loaded this week.

"Certainly" sounds like it might be far. Outer Hebrides?
