    Help identifying tartan please

    [img]http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2097848&id=1464595203&l=ebe1adc0f2[img]

    This is the kilt my 5 year old has been wearing and a close up of the tartan. Are any of you out able to name that tartan?

    Thanks very much

    It's based on the St. Andrews tartan, but with a single red line. I know that the Citadel military Academy is the same one, but with alternating Red and YELLOW stripes...

    Not sure what it is with just red...

    Only too keen to help, Jess, but it seems you have deleted the image from Facebook. In fact, as I was trying to call up the page, Facebook logged me out twice.
    Or is there a bigger problem here?

    That's the Edinburgh '86 tartan, also known as the Commonwealth Games 1986 tartan.

    From the STA notes:
    Designed by Ramsay Johnstone of Edinburgh Woollen Mill.
    STS notes read as follows: "Designed by Ramsay Johnstone of Edinburgh Woollen Mill. worn as the official parade uniform by 230 athletes and the officials. The colours depict the blue of the Scottish flag, the white the running lanes on the track, and red the finishing tape at the end of each race. Still a popular fashion tartan in 1994.
