It looks very similar to:
MacLeod of Raasay

It's the inverse of that, almost.
The three blacks on MacLeod of Raasay are red in the other, and the black stripe is white. The thread counts are similar, though.

Sorry everyone - that's what I meant. It was late and I was tired. What I meant to say was that the basic under-check is the 'Macleod Sett'. From what I understand the 'Macleod Sett' has been used many times as the basis for many other family and district tartans. Different colours and different over-check makes for a different tartan.
So Geoff, it probably isn't Macleod at all and it definitely isn't Stewart Royal.
