    Is this a personal variant of the Shepherd's Check, also known as the "Falkirk" or "Northumberland" tartan?

    Regards,

    Todd,
    I first saw it along side the Kerr Modern and Kerr Hunting at Ferniehirst (Kerr Castle outside Jedburgh) and thought it was pretty stellar looking. I can't speak for the history, or the pedigree of the tartan, but it very well may be as you suggest, a personalized variant of the Shepherd's Check.

    cheers,
    Alex
