Easy-peasy. The Shepherd tartan is also the Northumberland Check, also referred to as the Falkirk tartan/Border/Shepherd's plaid:

The first link is to the Northumberland Tartan Co. in England, but other kiltmakers offer it, including our own Matt Newsome. It's much more common than you think.

As far as the tartan for the Maguires goes, have a read on Matt's web site:

You can't go wrong with Matt!
