Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (Stirling Castle)

Strange they should have so much Gordon tartan on display there! Either way, I'd really like to get up to the Highlands and explore some of the old regimental bases.

That's not the Gordon regimental tartan, though. I believe that is the Lamont tartan from the old 74th Argyll Highlanders.

Scroll down or use the "find" feature for "Lamont" or "74th".

Lord it's good having Todd around here. I was about to chime in myself about what I thought was a Gordon tartan.

Where can we see something of that old Lamont tartan? My good friend, SouthernScot, would be interested since he is a Lamont. As am I.

TBH, i looked closely to the kilt in the second pic, and where it was worn away at the top, it didn't look as if it was heavy wool, it kinda looked strange, papery looking if you know what i'm trying to discribe

On my last trip to Sterling I was lucky enough to get a B&B just out side the Castle and made numerous trip there. I have to dig out the photo albums
but it is so intresting,we just could'nt leave.

Our tour of the Highlands was great also, but the most fun was driving ourselves around. My then girlfriend's family lived in Northumberland and we
used the car. It was my first time driving British Isle style, round-a-bout etc,
and I had an absoute ball.

Like every one else I didn't want to leave.
