    Tartan ID anyone?

    There is quite a discussion going on in a FB group on this photo. I'm just curious what tartan it is? (I have a guess but I'd like to be certain)

    Thanks

    I believe this is HOE County Caven. SRT #601 or ITI#2274

    Certainly looks to be the sett. I like the colors more muted like the photo.
    Thanks, at first glance it is close to the Buchanan Old Sett - but not exactly.

    Thanks again.

    The sett does look like the one Steve posted, and I like the muted colours too. It's a handsome tartan.

    I can see why that photo would be causing quite a bit of discussion.

    Not altogether dissimilar to the MacLately tartan developed by another on line forum

    The fly plaid doesn't look to be asymmetrical and I assume it is the same as the kilt. Though it looks more correct in tone and richness to the tartan jhockin showed.
