    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.

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