Macdonald Tartan found in Drummossie Moor
I have seen the famous painting of Sir Alexander Macdonald wearing what today is called the Macdonald Lord of the Isles Tartan around 1765, and of course the famous "Macdonald Boys" by Jeramiah Davidson from about 1750. I have heard the stories of the Macdonald of Kingsburgh, Borrodale, and Glenaladale Tartans and their history, but was curious if anyone had actually seen the Macdonald Tartan found in Drummossie Moor. I have heard that it was believed to be of a sett known as Clan Macdonald. Not ever having seen the original tartan I was in fact curious if it matched up to the likes of the Macdonald Modern/ancient etc found today from sources like Wilson's and like the Sobieski Stuart's VS "Clan Raynald". I know that there are those of you out there that might enlighten me. Fill me with your wisdom....
