    Glamis Castle Prince Charles Edward Stuart tartan

    Peter's fascinating article on the large piece of 18th century tartan in the sett now called Prince Charles Edward Stuart on display at Glamis Castle

    https://www.scottishtartans.co.uk/Po...hEd_tartan.pdf

    sent me down the rabbit-hole of trying to replicate this tartan in the Gaelic Web's online tartan generator.

    Here's the original in the best online photos I could find, top how it's displayed at Glamis Castle (with TWO signs, and a sword, piled on top) and bottom its appearance at the V&A Dundee exhibit.



    Here, stood on end, are those two photos with my CGI image in between. It took a bit of adjusting but I think I've got the sett pretty close.

    The original fabric's sett-size is around 8.5 inches.
