On another subject, I was told it was highly illegal to possess any part of a Scottish Wildcat, subject to a heavy fine & confiscation...?
I could be mistaken, wouldn't be the first time...
May only be true in Scotland.
No, it is the standard (modern) colours woven by D.C. Dalgliesh. Your tartan is woven by Lochcarron in their 'ancient' colours, which give it more of an overall, orangish tone, which I like very much. A weathered or muted version of the Chattan tartan does not exist on the market today, however, I am planning to have Dalgliesh weave the Chattan sett in their reproduction (weathered) colours, which will give it a much more subdued and 'earthy' tone that I am quite fond of.

Bruce's Scottish Wildcat sporran was made from a wildcat that was hit by a motorist along the A9 (motorway) near Newtonmore, Inverness-shire, Scotland. Bruce had the deceased animal made into a full-mask sporran by Kate Macpherson, and it comes with the appropriate and legal, sporran licence issue by the Scottish government - I have the same licence for my Kate Macpherson sporrans. So, Bruce has not broken any Scottish laws. A good amount of Scottish Wildcat sporrans exist within the Clan Chattan Confederation, to include the Clan Macpherson - my Chief, Cluny, wears one, as does several other Macphersons.
