    Indifying Tartans by Blair Urquhart

    This is my first and until now my one and only book about tartans. I bought it in a second hand shop for 5 kr. (80 cents, 0,5 £) because it shows the tartan of my favourite flannel shirt from my early youth on the front (Stewart Dance). The shirt don't exist anymore it is worn out long ago. But when I was 9 years old I got a sleeping bag - in tartan - and that thing exist yet . I have tried identifying that tartan, but with no luck. Maybe I can find a place in this forum leaving a picture of that tartan.

    The oddest thing happens when I check the posts. I find that someone else had the sleeping bag and flannel shirt I wore out during my 1960's camping trips. Red solid canvas exterior with that lovely wool interior red/black checked, with fine green lines. An ocean apart and we're still of the same "ilk". I hope this translates for you okay, Pothuset. There's more than monsters coming from the Castle of "URGggggg.." its called auto-correct.

    My sleeping bag is like a wide quilt with a zipper around three of the four edges. With open zipper it is a quilt, with a closed zipper it is a sleeping bag. It is made with nylon outside (the tartan) and with blue cotton inside. When the rain stops monday, I'll take the sleeping bag outside and take som photos. Figheadair have been so kind telling me where to drop them on this site.

    How strange. I've just stumbled over the tartan of my sleeping bag. It's called MacBeth.
