    Help figuring which Tartan these are???

    I have a friend whose father passed and he had several kilts in his closet. She doesn't believe they have a scottish lineage so she has no idea what clan they are or why he had them. Can anyone tell me what they might be?

    Without pictures, I can only guess, but unless he was a clothing collector (specialising in ethnic clothing), he used to wear them.

    Regards

    Worth checking the ebay site if you are XL. Size 11 ghillies, one PC jacket/vest, Burns stuff.

    Anyway, here are the pics she is asking about:

    It would be better to see the Kilts photo'd off the hangars and showing the front apron.

    I'll hazard a guess though.


    1 = Gordon pleated to stripe.


    2 = Campbell of Argyle pleated to sett.


    3 = MacLeod ancient pleated to sett
