I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

It's the Pride of Scotland tartan as others have said. This is a private tartan designed by McCalls of Aberdeen with exclusive rights for Lochcarron to weave. Pakistani weavers ignore this exclusivity and mass produce this tartan for kilts, one of which you see here.
I can tell this is a Pakistani kilt b/c:
1. There's no fringe
2. The buckles are sewn right through the front apron
3. The vertical line of stitching holding down the 'return' on the edge of the front apron which shows through the front apron.
4. The horizontal line of stitching 3" below the waistband is how those kilts generally give the kilt a 'fell' by sewing the pleats together and the line of stitching is visible.
5. The 'hang' of the garment and wrinkling suggests it's made from Acrylic.
I stand corrected. Was confusing this with the Heritage of Scotland tartan that looks a whole lot different.
Can't win em all I guess. ;)
