    I'm seeing a couple Currie tartans. I like the one with more colours





    That all-green Currie reminds me of this 18th century MacDonald tartan



    Here's a site about the Carolina tartan.

    http://www.carolinatartan.com/colors.htm

    The site has this photo of Peter MacDonald's handwoven original



    and here's an XMarks thread of people wearing their Carolina kilts

    The Currie "Lord of the Isles" is directly attributed to Clan Mac-Dhomnuill-nan Eilean approval - done so in the early to mid 20th Century.

    It was originally designed by/for William Currie of Balinlone as a personal/family tartan. He was given permission to variance the Lord of the Isles green sett by Lord Macdonald.

    Thanks Mr. MacDonald,
    I thought it was something like that. I've read that recount before.
