Now that I can see the set, I'd bet that it is the Dress Menzies tartan, red and white with the 7 stripes. Haven't picked that one up yet, but it's on my list.

I guess I could have been more clear. The pronuciation of Menzies IS "Ming-us". I didn't know that until we ventured into Abefeldy and were rebuffed quickly. Now that we know, the sept names make more sense. My understanding is that the Celtic "g" looks enough like a "z" to have created a misspelling in the earlier years, creating the confusion.

Even my lat name (Means) is another misspelling, by U.S. immigration, of Menzies.

I'm happy to hear any arguments, because some of this is conjecture. I would be though that the tartan is the Dress Menzies.
