Here is a pic of me with my Clan Chief outside his ancestral home at Braemar, Aberdeenshire, taken on the formation of the Clan Farquharson Society. The Clan Chief is Captain Alwyne Compton Farquharson of Invercauld MC.

I see the Farquharson tartan but I can't identify th other.... any hints?

On the left is me wearing Farquharson ancient and on the right the Clan Chief is wearing a kilt he inherited (very, very old) which is ancient Farquharson but a very large sett.

Indeed ! One of the proudest moments of my life. Especially since the Clan Chief is one of life's true gentelmen (rare nowadays).

Hi,

Great pic and a proud moment, for sure. What can be seen of the house is most interesting, any pics showing more of it?

That is a fantastic picture to be sure..... And a very proud moment. I am glad that he turned out to be a true gentleman.

This just shows how the size of a sett can alter the look of the tartan. I personally prefer the larger sett, however my clan tartan (Hume) looks better in the smaller sett as the red is more concentrated, making it more colourful.
