A customer sent me an email with a picture of a kilt found while cleaning out an old storage locker of the Canadian Scottish Regimental Armory.

It may have been a pipers kilt. It may be quite faded.

No one can identify these three Tartans.

Please notice that the rosettes are made from Ribbon and not tartan fabric so the pattern is not symmetrical.

Also note that the bottom Rosette which I first thought was MacKenzie Seaforth actually has yellow stripes with black guards on either side of the center Red stripe.

As this is probably a military kilt I would expect these Tartans to be of those associated with the Canadian Military.

I have also never seen Tartan rosettes used on a military kilt. I'm not saying it was not done, just that I've never seen it before. Would any of our historians be able to help with this concept of three Tartans on one kilt used in the Canadian military?
