    Could send the pic to your kiltmaker - they'd know. Guessing you can't ask the band anymore.

    In the first photo it looks a lot like the restricted Holland tartan:

    My best guess since it appears that you are located there.

    The tartan in the first photo is "78th Fraser Highlanders Pipe Band". They commissioned a custom tartan based on the regimental predecessor.

    The tartan also appears to be similar to the Lindsay tartan although Lindsay is woven in a shade of dark claret red most often.

    I keep coming back to this thread and I cannot place the tartan. At first I thought it might be either Stewart of Appin or Kerr, but it's not either of those. It looks rather like the Roxburgh tartan without the white stripe.

    If the photos were clearer I might be able to help more.

    I at first thought it was MacLachlan Red Modern. But upon further inspection, that's not even close.

    This tartan seems to have a rather large sett, with the black stripe only going through the center of every second red strip.

    The tartan in the first photo is "78th Fraser Highlanders Pipe Band". They commissioned a custom tartan based on the regimental predecessor.
    Where can one find this tartan? I don't see it listed in any of the normal databases.

    I don't think it's 78th Fraser, but your comment did get me looking at the Fraser tartans and I believe there is a very good chance this could be Fraser of Altyre.

    Not a match, but very similar to the Millennium tartan.
