Hey everyone. I have some odd questions. I remember saying that the Gordon red looks a lot like the Huntly district... well, according to a couple places, the Gordon red is also called "Huntly Old", this is coming from www.district-tartans.com, as well as the Scottish Tartan Authority website.
I was wanting to get some Huntly district tartan, but now I am not so sure as to wether that would really be necessary. Of course, one could always justify this as a good excuse to get another section of cloth for a belted plaid... but does anyone know how far back the Huntly modern district tartan goes? I am a major geek, and am quite fond historical accuracy. If the Gordon red really is the old Huntly district tartan, then my search for another belted plaid doesn't have as much fuel behind it as before.
This is just interesting news to me, and was wondering if anyone has information to lend? As a side note, I almost always email Matt concerning such things, but I am sure that I have been quite annoying over past weeks! Ha ha ha.
