I get the cinematic thing, I really do but I just find it a shame that no-one ever seems to wants to reflect the reality of tartans of the period. Going for almost neutral browns and grays is a bit like making the Red Coats' coats blue - might look okay but it rather misses the point.
A clarification of the reference in post #85 - the Sobieski Stuarts are generally regarded as sitting outside the Highland Revival era which was roughly 1780-1840 although one could argue that they non-published 'draft' of the Vestiarium, The Cromarty Mss, does fit the period.
