    Tartan ID?

    I rather like this tartan I see on Sandy St. James Bagpipe & Kilt distributor's site. I e-mailed him to ask, but he never answered. Anyway, it can be found here: http://stjamesbagpipes.com/images/tartan_bkgrd.gif
    The reason I like it is that the sett is a lot like the Wilson tartan, but the colors are similar to a Douglas tartan, and those two surnames are my father's parents' names.
    Anyone know?

    Easier to see this way:



    I'm sure someone will be able to tell you the tartan.

    Best regards,
