Bravo, Figheadair! Did recognize it by sight? If not, how did you even begin to research the thing? Like myclantartan, I never would have gotten that one.

Did recognise this one from my days at the Scottish Tartans Society in the early 80s then checked on the STA Master Db (the full, not the public access, verson).
