Given that this is the first accurate run of this tartan since the mid to late 18th century I was wondering if any light can be shed on the original tartan. Peter's extensive research was enough to show that this tartan is likely of that period and that it should no longer be referred to as Altyre but rather as Struy. The stories around this tartan suggest that it was worn at Culloden, while this can never be outrightly be proven is it possible to determine the original use of the tartan? I believe Peter stated that the original specimens have no herringbone selvage so does that mean that the original was not necessarily cloth worn as a kilt?
Best,
Adam
