And for the visual-minded among us, here are the two tartans we're looking at. It's a question of whether the Ancient tartan is actually available from Lochcarron, who show it as currently unavailable.



The description of the MacColl tartan on the Great Scot website reads:

The MacColl tartan was produced by Wilson's of Bannockburn in 1797 under the name of 'Bruce', later known as 'Old Bruce'. The MacColls are a branch of the Clan Donald who settled around Loch Fyne. Some of the clan living in the Ballachulish area took protection from the Stewart of Appin. There is a strong similarity in the pattern structure of the 'Appin' and the MacColl tartans.
