Richard: I appreciate your reply and I am leaning heavily toward a Grant tartan. The modern colours I’ve seen on Grant kilts are very dark, but the ones in the post below yours are not and Maxwell is similar to Grant. It’s really a matter of availability and expense as ancient and modern Grant tartan are readily available.

Shaun: That picture is excellent; especially helpful owing to the similarities of Maxwell and Grant tartans. As for blue green ancient colours, I have considered ancient black watch (Campbell) as well as that is the grant hunting tartan.
