Help figuring which Tartan these are???

[misskimred]

I have a friend whose father passed and he had several kilts in his closet. She doesn't believe they have a scottish lineage so she has no idea what clan they are or why he had them. Can anyone tell me what they might be?

Without pictures, I can only guess, but unless he was a clothing collector (specialising in ethnic clothing), he used to wear them.

Worth checking the ebay site if you are XL. Size 11 ghillies, one PC jacket/vest, Burns stuff.

Anyway, here are the pics she is asking about:

It would be better to see the Kilts photo'd off the hangars and showing the front apron.

I'll hazard a guess though.


1 = Gordon pleated to stripe.


2 = Campbell of Argyle pleated to sett.


3 = MacLeod ancient pleated to sett

Gordon to stripe, modern colors

Gordon to sett, modern colors

Smith to sett, ancient colors

Yup. I'll go with Smith. Good spot David.

Can a MacFarlane wear a Smith kilt? I thought I read this somewhere but now I can't remember the connection.

If you have MacFarlane in the family tree, it's pretty likely there's a Scottish connection.

You'd probably have to look at his whole genealogy to determine where a Gordon or Smith connection might be.

in any case!

Only if there's one available.
