It is indeed. Very nice. Quite similar to (red) Robertson.

Not really, it's essentially the 42nd sett in red, blue and green. The reference in #23 to this sett being The traditional Fraser is intereting. This sett can only be dated with certainty to the late 1790's and therefore pre-dates the VS sett by some 30-40 years (allowing for a c1829 date for the Cromarty Mss which was the basis for the VS).
