    The picture shows as an attachment to the thread. If you go out to the forum thread list and click on the paper clip icon to the right of the thread title a separate window comes up with a list of attached files.

    It's only 85.4 kb, so maybe it's the dimensions. It's just 854x582 pixels, so it should fit. Hmm.

    Here it is. I downloaded the image, clicked on the Insert Image icon in the post message menu (second row, fourth box, third icon from left), selected the file downloaded and clicked on Upload file.



    Sorry, no idea which tartan.

    That is the Holyrood tartan. Very underrated IMO.

    Correct, on the ID. Essentially the Royal Stewart in blues and brown.

    which Hollyrood itself has now spawned a number of colour variants.

    At a recent Highland Games I spied a House of Edgar sample-book which included their then-new "Heirloom range."

    This tartan was called "Heirloom Holyrood".

    Seems that in 2002 it was renamed "Holyrood Golden Jubilee II" and seems to still be in production.



    Then there's this kilt that came up on Ebay a few years ago.

    It's clearly Holyrood but with rather different colours, the dark blue extremely dark, the light blue very light, and the brown a mustard/tan.



    Here's normal Holyrood for comparison

    Here's "Holyrood Weathered" in heavyweight tweed from Marton Mills, beautiful fabric.



    And normal Holyrood for comparison.
