    I could be wrong, but it looks like the Maxwell tartan to me.

    Same guy, same tartan, for every clan. Looks like each wall crest has been Photoshopped into a standard picture. Have a look at the files ending in x.jpg here: http://www.scottish-heirloom.com/sco...clans_jewelry/

    Not Maxwell...

    At first glance, I thought it was Maxwell Ancient as well, but when I looked closer, I noticed an extra line... (see arrows below)
