    Purple Tartans?

    I'm looking to get a purple kilt made; does any one have a list of some tartans? The only ones I know are:

    --Masonic
    --Passion of scotland
    --heritage of scotland
    --spirit of bannockburn

    Some way to find an inventory would be great

    Thanks!

    Any infor on where to source these tartans would be appreciated. I intend to send them to lady chrystel for a commission

    Here shown in a Traditional manner.

    If you go to the Scottish Tartan Authority I believe you can sort by colour.

    Color doesn't show on my monitor as the true purple it is.

    Mods, can I suggest that this thread is moved to the Tartan section.

    It is interesting to see a number of non-purple tartans are in both lists. This is based on the use of terms like claret and magenta being used to describe what was originally red in tartans like Crawford and Stuart of Bute.

    ….but I also thought this was I retesting.
    A complete catalogue of errors and misinformation in this presentation. It should not be regarded as anything like accurate or authoritative.

    Marton Mills has a wool version of their polyviscose Warrior tartan. It's called Highland Mist, in the 16-ounce Jura range of tartans. You can find it from MM, clan.com, or your favorite kiltmaker.

    Warrior's colors are purple, dark purple (almost black), and white. As far as my eye can tell from the screen, Highland Mist is identical.
