Hey guys, I'm new on this site, and stumbled upon it while looking for ideas for tartans. I've played the bagpipes for many years, and have competed solo and with a band for a few years now. I currently wear the band issued kilt, which is the Ancient MacDonald of Glenaladale tartan (it's very handsome). The thing is, I've never owned my own kilt, and now I'm itching to get one so that I have something different to wear in either solo competition, doing gigs, or just for wearing on special occasions.

So, I'm looking for a darker tartan to complement the bright, flashy MacDonald I currently wear. Clan heritage is not that much of a worry to me, since I don't really love any of the tartans of family (MacLeod), but I just want to be happy with the kilt. If anybody has any suggestions on some darker greens, blues or greys and blacks, I would love to hear them. I'm new to the kilt thing so any help would be very much appreciated.
