    The King Robert the Bruce Memorial Tartan

    Not a complex pattern, but the colours appear to balance each other nicely. I'm smitten with this one. Even though I don't think Scots were wearing tartan at the time.

    I saw that this morning as well. I don't know why but tartans with large black fields generally leave me cold, and this one is no exception.

    There was a licorice candy here in the US some decades ago called "Good 'n' Plenty". Black licorice bites in pink and white candy shells. Just sayin'...

    Good n' Plenty is still plenty available (and plenty delicious).

    There still is. Good 'n' Plenty is my favorite candy in the whole, wide world.

    And I have to admit... it makes a welcome change from the ubiquitous Black Stewart.

    EDIT:
    Artificer and I crossed posts.

    Doesn't do it for me. I places this firmly in the speculative sentimental rubbish pile. As for the colours rationale.......

    Different tastes, I suppose... I like dark tartans, and actually find this one quite attractive.
