What tartan is that

[creagdhubh]

Yes of course, we just need to know the name,

Right I'll start with "A" ".....

Good on ya, Simon, I was contemplating doing the same. Or better yet, searching by colour. Oh dear...

[creagdhubh]

I hope that the OP didn't really want to know. Were it me and I did, I would be thinking, "What a bunch of jerks."

Hahaha!!! Quite!

[Ordway]

Although I am colour blind and shouldn't be trying to play this game, I believe it is a Robertson tartan.

I hope you were smiling when you said that David?

Otherwise I would find that remark incredibly disrespectful.

Nope, Robertson is not it. Though it's close to the Sinclair tartan as well, that's not it either.

Wow, I've been at this for a while now! Peter, I'm searching A-Z on the Scottish Tartans Authority website. I started with M, moved to S, then B, now I'm on F. I feel like an obsessed, crazy person! Hahaha!

FOUND IT!

And I did it the same way Peter, did, with a name search. Only I didn't search via any tartan database. Just old fashioned Google (or would that be new fashioned?).

It's the Lawers Estate tartan.

"From a kilt worn by Mr Gibbons, owner of Lawers Estate near Comrie. Mr Gibbons said that the tartan had been specially woven by the London Kiltmakers based on a historic pattern associated with the estate. Details are unconfirmed. The pattern is asymmetric and uses two thread black stripes to delineate the colours."

POSTSCRIPT: Although, looking again at that first photo, I'm still not entirely convinced that it is NOT MacNab. But it is admittedly hard to tell given the resolution of the photograph.

WOO HOO!!! Well done, Matt! Thank goodness! Now, I can relax and enjoy my evening with a wee dram or two! Whew!

Slainte,

[Grizzly]

Well done Matt. I can now go to bed as it's past midnight here. It was doing my head in.

[David Thorpe]

I hope you were smiling when you said that David?

Otherwise I would find that remark incredibly disrespectful.

I was not, and if anything is disrespectful, it is toward the OP's simple question. I am rather surprised that you don't see that.

[Grizzly]

David rest assured I have not taken offence, as I am sure and have been assured that the remark was made in jest. I have taken it in good spirit and there let it rest. I am just glad that Matt has found the answer so that I can get a good nights sleep.
