    Tartan Request

    Hi,
    I was wondering if someone could please help me with the name of the tartan that I have posted on Photobucket. I am still agonising over what tartan to select for a new kilt and I think the example I have pasted on photobucket is up there with my top five.
    Thanks,
    Alby

    Tartan ID

    Looks to me like Malcolm, modern tartan to me. I may be wrong and if so, would appreciate being corrected. Thanks.

    Yes, that looks to be the Malcolm tartan.

    Malcolm Tartan with thanks

    Thank-you for your input re: Malcolm tartan. It goes immediately into my top five tartan list for my future kilt.

    Definitely Malcolm. What is offered today differs from the original WoB setting that used two shades of red: scarlet and rose which makes for a subtle and beautiful tartan much nicer that the commonly woven with a single shade.
