I have to confess that I have not heard of that tartan before. Thanks for posting the picture of the stunning surroundings too.

It is a Marton Mills tartan. I like your John Wayne quote - very fitting since many of his movies were filmed at this location.

Perfect choice of kilt to go with the scenery. Matchy-matchy or not, I like it. 
Monument Valley is awesome - was there a few (quite a few) years back. My wife had a new Jeep Cherokee at the time - so we drove the 17 mile trail "down there" in that valley.

Lovely tartan, but the "Cullins of Sky" you are referring to is actually spelled "Cuillins of Skye." Here's some more detailed information in regards to what this particular tartan was named after:
The Cuillin (Scottish Gaelic: An Cuilthionn or An Cuiltheann) is a range of rocky mountains located on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. The true Cuillin is also known as the Black Cuillin to distinguish it from the Red Cuilin (na Beanntan Dearga, known locally as Red Hills) across Glen Sligachan. The Red Cuilin hills are lower and, being less rocky, have fewer scrambles or climbs.
The highest point of the Cuillin, and of the Isle of Skye, is Sgùrr Alasdair in the Black Cuillin at 992 m (3,255 ft). The Cuillin is one of 40 National Scenic Areas in Scotland.
Cheers,

Great looking kilt and picture, and great info from Kyle....

If you made a great kilt out of that tartan, you'd have perfect camouflage for that terrain. ;)

Indeed, I had the wrong spelling. I will put it down to posting after a red eye flight
