There is a photo of the tartan in this thread:

Originally the Frugal Corner advertised this tartan as "Isle of Skye". There were many here on XMTS who questioned this because the rights to produce the Isle of Skye tartan are held by an individual and it would seem that the FC had not obtained permission to offer an acrylic kilt in this tartan.
For this reason, and the fact that when the kilts arrived from their manufacturer with different color values than the subtle IoS tartan, The Frugal Corner changed the name on their website to "Bright Skye". I think that this was even suggested by an X Marker.
The polyviscose tartan fabric offered by Marton Mills (used by Rocky, Pete, Steve Ashton, and others) is produced with permission of the copyright holder and she receives a royalty for it.
Do a search through some of the older threads and you can find the whole story.
To me I think it would be better to either save for a real Isle of Skye tartan kilt where you know that the kilt maker did the right thing, or choose another tartan.
