Steve, not quite, what I've said it that there are no complete surviving examples. There are quite a few pieces of what were likely to have been a Belted Plaid, mostly small pieces but the odd larger section survives. Probably the most complete example is a plaid that was cut in halved and used as curtain at Dunollie House, Oban. It is discussed here.
