    I don't think it's a fashion tartan, but I couldn't find a tartan like that one. Whatever it is, it's bloody nice.

    It vaguely resembles the Macpherson Dress Burgundy.

    But only vaguely.

    tartan?

    It reminds me of the tartan for the Hearts FC (Heart of Midlothian fitba' club).

    Up the Hearts!

    That tartan is the Little of Morton Rig tartan, No. 2349 in the ITI. It was designed in 1991 by Dr. J. C. Little of Morton Rigg, Dumfreis for the (then) newly formed Clan Little Society. It incorporates elements of both the Wallace and the Shepherd tartans.

    It's not commonly seen, but seeing as the designer lives in Dumfries, and P1M is in Dumfries.....

    This would be the shot referred to above.
