Wow what a find ! I bought a really nice 8/9 yard kilt off ebay last year in the Prince Charles Edward Stuart tartan for only £32.50. It arrived screwed up in a tatty bin liner and my heart sunk, but like yours when it was unwrapped it was beautiful. It's an old one and the leather straps need replacing, but I've had it cleaned and pressed and it's like new now. Anyway I think yours even beats that price and I know just how you feel !. The bargains are there if you keep looking. Your right about the tartan and it looks to be in the ancient colours (although as you say it's very dark in daylight and that could just be the flash (the old military kilts were always in modern colours). You'll notice that the tartan (without the yellow line) is in fact MacDonald and this was because it was designed by the Cameron Highlanders founder's wife who was a MacDonald herself. Once again congratulations on finding a real bargain, it looks great.
