    Some assistance identifying tartans?

    Good day to you all!

    The Saint Andrew’s Society of Jacksonville maintains a collection of about 70 tartan banners which have been donated over the years. Recently I have assumed responsibility for maintaining the collection. One of my projects is to get a complete and accurate inventory.

    Each banner is embroidered with the name of the clan. Unfortunately it appears that three of them have been mislabeled! Before I can take steps to set matters aright, I must know the correct name for the tartans.

    Here are the three banners in question. To avoid distraction I have cropped the photo to eliminate the incorrect labels.

    Any assistance you can provide would be most welcome!
