    Looking for pics of specific tartans

    Hey all

    I'm thinking about buying a kilt from the Frugal Corner, and I've got 5 tartans that I'm considering. The problem is, I can't seem to find good representations of the tartans. I've looked in a few different places, but thought that some of you might be able to help.

    If you own a kilt in any of the following tartans, would you mind posting a pic?

    Cameron
    Grant Hunting
    Hunting Stewart
    MacDougall
    Macleod of Harris


    Thanks so much!

    My favorite site for photographs of tartans is LindaClifford (dot) com. In fact, all five of your requested tartans are shown there. Happy hunting.

    http://www.tartansauthority.com -- just click on the tartan ferret, and start searching by surname or tartan name -- that's all you need to know for tartan searches.

    I think he's after an actual photo of each tartan, not the digi-swatch.

    Most of the tartan photos at Kiltstore's Tartan finder are of the cloth itself.

    Mark, would it be possible to get a list of the current tartans that you do and WILL have available in the near future? Your site, and your eBay ads only state the ones you have, 'and several others'.

    I like Tartans by Air http://tartans.byair.net/ because if you scroll down you can get a full screen of the tartan. And, when there are multiple tartans you can examine them on the same screen.
