    ID a Chief

    Can anyone tell me who this chief is? I'm too lazy to pour over tartan books, and I can't quite make out his crest!

    Odd, I would have thought somebody here could identify this tartan.

    Sometimes these things take time to be resolved.

    Thought the tartan was Campbell green at first but after further review and noticing the white stripe I think it is Campbell of Loudon Ancient. Anybody else got any guesses?

    Interesting cut on his jacket. No cutaway.

    Nice color matching on the jacket though.

    On further thought I was trying to figure out why he was wearing maroon hose til I looked closer and saw a red stripe or two in the tartan, so my guess of Campbell of Loudon is wrong, although it could be a Campbell of Argyll of one sort or another.

    That looks close to me except that I'm not seeing the yellow stripe.

    Edit: And I missed the red stripe.

    And I'm already on eBay, looking for a jacket to send to vmac3205 for an identical conversion. That's very interesting.

    It kind of looks like the Wilson’s of Bannockburn Hunting MacRae.. I might be out a black thin strip though.. the badge looks kind of like the MacRae badge, except I am not sure they have a chief right now?

    The tartan looks to be the Semphill tartan. Could that possibly be Lord Jamie Semphill? I've only met him once a few years ago, so I'm not positive on the ID. I do like his jacket, though!
