    Please help me identifty this piece of tartan.

    I just recieved this piece of tartan in the mail yesterday. I took a gamble and bought it on ebay. The seller didnt really know what they had, only that it was bought some time ago to make a kilt.

    If you would please help me identify the tartan. I bought the piece for $30.00 total. It looks and feels like wool and when weighed it comes out to be 3 lbs and 3 ounces. It is 4 yards long, double width so if I am correct that makes it 13oz tartan? It also has good selvege edges that match up.

    Thank you very much. At 30 dollars I think I got a good deal.

    Yup, Robertson Hunting. That tartan and the MacKenzie are the same except that the position of the red/white stripes is reversed.
