I may have to try getting screen captures myself (the others I found with Google) to get a better picture of the tartan.
To me it looks more like this, but with an additional white stripe. It reminds me of the Seaforth Mackenzie, but with a smaller sett and the double red stripe.
I'll try screen captures after work.

Tunes of Glory...
James Kenneway, the author of Tunes of Glory (he also wrote the screenplay), served in the Gordons, if I remember correctly, so no doubt the majority of the inspiration for the story came from that regiment. I have read that the kilts were Cameron of Erracht as well, but I'm not totally convinced -- I still wonder if they went with another tartan to avoid making any particular regiment's members mad.
Regards,
Todd

How have I lived so long without seeing this movie? I noticed that Sir Alec Guinness referred to the regiment as "the friendly regiment" . . . could that provide a clue?
