I'm trying to find a suitable family tartan (from my Scottish name) for my non-Scottish husband's kilt but am very confused by the wide range of samples, as well as inconsistencies, between/amongst websites.

Could anyone kindly tell me what to look for in terms of authenticity? I've seen 'modern', 'ancient', 'hunting' and so forth, but each site seems to have a slightly different set of patterns.

Does anyone know of a reliable site with historically authentic tartans, which also explains the various uses?

Thanks for your help, and sorry if this topic has already been covered.
