The same portion of the sett compared, first MacKay, then the Outlander design. You can judge for yourself how much in the way of design work occurred.
From the moment I saw the first image from Outlander I said "oh, they're wearing MacKay Weathered!"
The "weathered" colour-scheme, by the way, was invented in 1949 by the weaver D C Dalgleish, therefore being an anachronism by over 200 years.

The Following User Says 'Aye' to OC Richard For This Useful Post:
The basic Outlander tartan compared to MacKay; basically they removed the stripe in the middle of the grey square.
Thank you for that side-by-side comparison. I'll have to point that out to the missus when I get off work tomorrow morning.
Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. I received my kilt in the mail today. Forgive the casual look...the missus insisted I try it on as soon as the package came in. I must say, it looks much better than I expected a Sportkilt to look, and it is a very comfortable material.

Thank you sir! Question for you: what color hoses/flashes do you wear? I'm about to order some, but not sure what to get
With the Mackay Ancient, I typically wear the lovat green with either lovat blue or black flashes. I also like the lovat blue hose with the black flashes and the grey hose with either the lovat green or blue flashes. It all depends upon what shirt I'm wearing. There are so many great color combinations that look great with it.
