    What is this tartan?

    Can anyone identify the tartan worn by the two children in the photo posted here? http://members3.boardhost.com/Oranje...162813265.html

    Thanks

    Very hard to tell from the blurry shots, but my first thought is Campbell of Cawdor.

    I don't think it's Campbell of Cowdor b/c there's white through the green... not blue.

    If the white was yellow (is it?), it could be Farquharson.
    Maybe Rose Hntg?
    Sutherland?

    The above mentioned all have white through the green (or yellow thru green) and Red through the Blue. The blurriness makes it VERY tough.

    I don't think it's Campbell of Cawdor either, the light strip looks white instead of azure (light blue) and what should be the red stripe looks almost purple or violet, it's difficult to tell because of the size and quality of the photo.

    It's really had to tell, but could it be the Flower of Scotland?

    Hmm... giving the kilts a closer look, I still stand by Campbell of Cawdor for the one on the left. What others are saying looks like white certainly looks like it could be azure to me. I just can't think of another tartan that it looks more like.

    The kilt on the right, however, I'm starting to think may not be the same tartan. I don't see any stripes on the blue in that one, and it looks like there is more going on in the green -- and I think the light stripe might be yellow. I'm thinking that one may be MacLaren.

    Given the quality of the photos, though, I doubt any of us can say for sure.
