    As a side note to any "Outlander" book fans; Jamie McCrimmon from Doctor Who was Diana Galbaldon's inspiration for her Jamie Fraser character.

    If he was from the 17th century, why did he never wear flashes?

    Fraser Hines played the character of Joe Sugden in the original Emmerdale Farm tv series, the same actor is kilted in early Doctor Who episodes.

    I appreciate the help. However I did a search for both of these tartans and they are both nothing like the Kilt used in the series.
    the colors used in the California Tartan are predominantly Blue and Olive and the Logan Tartan are mostly blues and greens. Both Tartans do not have the same sized shape pattern as the one used in the series. Also I'm pretty sure there were several Kilts used in Jamie's First Story "The Highlanders" so these were probably all from the BBC's Vast Wardrobe they had at the time.

    The no sporran look is great - thanks for posting those. There are so many options to the sporran its nice to see the "whole kilt" from time to time.
