Greetings Rabble .

I have question regarding the Hebrides Tartan . Before I ask the question , I will preface with a bit of information .

I have been kilted for 45 years and have always worn 2 different Montgomery tartans and the Black Watch tartan ( several family members served in the regiment ) .

Recently I have decided to expand my kilt wearing options ... yes I know , after only 45 years I'm probably rushing into a rash decision .

All kidding aside , my Grandmother's family on my Father's side were from the Hebrides , so I started to look into the Hebrides tartan .

I've discovered that Dalgliesh offers 19 different Hebrides tartans all with 3 color variations - modern , ancient , weathered .

I have also noticed that 7 of these tartans represent certain areas of the Hebrides - North Uist , South Uist , Inner and Outer , which is perfectly understandable .

On the other hand , 12 of the Hebrides tartans are simply identified as Hebrides 1 thru 12 .

This brings me to my question . Can someone educate me on the Hebrides 1 thru 12 tartans ? They are quite a bit different from one another . Any info is appreciated , below is a link for a visual example .
