And here of course is all that's left of that once lovely house.

Some of the interior panelling was used in the current Moy Hall.

So... the fabric covering the seat could conceivably have come from a kilt?

Conceivably but in all likelihood not. But you're on the right track.

Is it a snippit of cloth from the arisaid of Lady Anne Farquharson-Mackintosh?

No, it's not from her or anyone else's arisaid. In fact, I doubt very much that Lady Anne, given her social rank, would have ever worn an arisaid which, in any event, was probably outdated as a form of dress by that date and not widely used.

Could it have come from a coat, perhaps worn by household staff? A weak guess, but I am stumped. It`s been fun learning a bit about the Mackintoshes and Moy Hall though.

No, not a coat. Come on guys, think Highland Dress.
