Thoughts on this one?

I'm not all that fond of the green as it directly abuts the blue. In different shades (or in an ancient or weathered palette) it might be more appealing, but the shades as photographed appear too similar. It strains the eyes, determining where one color ends, and the other begins. A black and white photo would likely show the two colors as a single shade of gray. Not the first tartan to give me that impression, though. Black Watch and a few other tartans, in dark modern hues where all the shades are the same degree of "dark", have the same effect on me.

For a hot minute I thought it was the Cameron of Erracht, but it is different. It has a mesmerizing effect. Very nice.

They're not WoB shades but in real life they are much more subtle than the quickly taken image suggests.

Looks like Black Watch Band tartan with additional white and thin yellow stripes...
I don't know...

It has elements of many: 42nd motif in B,S seems an effect from the "Band Sett" as well as "Fraser" & "MacNab" (different colours); the W sprainge in the middle of the R,G,B repeated pattern is characteristic of "Perth, Drummond, Drummond of Perth"; the Y sprainge bordering said pattern is indicative of "Perth", but recalls "Wilson's Loch Eil" which became "Dalzell" (when changed to W, I think). Yet, the combination of W sprainge & 42nd B,S reminds me of a "Fraser" variant. But, However, these are cannon ideas.

A better resolution pic; shades are still not as subtle as they are to the eye.

I'll have a stab, is it Fiddes clan. Kit

Ah, yes. So, what I presumed "white" is actually "azure / light blue" at the pivot. And, that yellow border-stripe is only 2-threads, perhaps silk in an earlier era?
Is this something that D.C. Stewart called a "green tartan", where the scarlet "[red] bands were inserted in the dark foundation..." (Setts, p24)?
I ask because it may shed light on a namesake, or a direction (Fencibles / Regiment / Band).

It's actually grey not light blue, the light is deceptive. This is a new design with military connections.
