    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?
