[QUOTE=OC Richard;1309740]It was sad, in a way, for the creation of The Highlanders to finally put the kibosh on the Prince Charles Edward Stuart tartan of the old 72nd Highlanders.

The pipers of the Seaforth Highlanders, and then the pipers of the Queens Own Highlanders, wore a rear ribbon of that tartan for nearly a century (1881-1994).

I love the Prince Charles Edward Stuart tartan (not as bright as classic Royal Stewart) and I'm hoping to buy a kilt in this tartan in the summer. Marton Mills do a nice version in their Jura range but worryingly it's not showing on their website anymore. The only other mill weaving it in heavyweight is Dalgliesh, but I couldn't afford that one
