The Moy Hall Plaid - A good day's research

[figheadair]

After some 30 years of trying to reconstruct the sett of the so called Moy Hall Plaid from various snippets and references, today I managed to get to see the largest surviving fragment, which is still at Moy Hall. It confirmed my view that earlier reconstructions by the likes of Jamie Scarlett were flawed. Now I will be able to complete my paper discussing the various fragments, several of which are later copies, of this Culloden era tartan that has a good claim to have been used by Prince Charles Edward.

This is particularly interesting to me. I would love to read your paper when it's finished, if that would be possible.

It will be up on my website once completed. If I may, why the particular interest?

Of particular interest to me, too, of course. I assumed you had seen and handled it at some time in the past.

Ah, got it. But of course this is not a MacKintosh tartan .

Never managed to get into Moy Hall before today. However, I have had my hands on/access over a dozen other fragments, none as big, and some of them later copies despite having been sold as the real thing at auction in recent years for ridiculous prices.

Do you have an eta on your article, Peter?

I understand that, but the Moy connection is intriguing to me.
