    Help to identify this tartan

    I was looking through Flickr for Cairngorm skiing and came across this nice looking tartan.

    Could anyone identify it?

    thanks

    Nope. It's weathered MacPherson/Kidd. Probably woven by Lochcarron.

    I agree with David -- weathered MacPherson, most likely Lochcarron.

    Since it looks just like the kilt my wife bought me in Jan. 2010, I'd have to go out on a limb and say it's a Maclaine lochbuie tartan.

    The kilt pictured is definitely MacPherson weathered. If your Maclaine of Lochbuie kilt is of the same tartan, you need to go back and have a talk with your kiltmaker!

    I agree with Matt... Macpherson / Kidd, though I'd guess the mill as Marton Mills: http://www.usakilts.com/store/tartan...&gazimage=1536

    Based on his dress sporran, I'm guessing this was a formal event.
