Estate Tartans

[Jock Scot]

I cannot help with identifying the kilt cloth, or where it is placed Rex. Searching my imperfect mind and as far as I am aware, these days, the only actual tartan that an estate uses in some form, is the Balmoral. Although the stalkers and ghillies from that estate are clad in tweed jackets, waistcoats, bonnets and plus 2/4/6's in Balmoral Estate tweed these days. I have not heard of anyone in recent times wearing the Balmoral tweed in kilt form.

Here is a stalker from Glen Lyon clad in the kilt made from estate tweed.I can't remember which estate though.

In fact I have only ever come across two stalkers who wore the kilt full time. One the chap in the above picture and another who wore his Black Watch tartan kilt. Kilts are occasionally worn on the hill by those shooting(me for one) and Estate staff and those would be a Clan tartan not an Estate tartan or Estate tweed.

Looking at the first of your pictures Rex, I cannot help but think that is a posed picture. Why?

No stalker would ever wear black, its the one unnatural colour that anyone stalking would ever wear, it can be seen for miles! Silver buttons glinting in the sun? Never! Fancy hose in those days were far too precious to take out on the hill! And that sporran? Far too fancy for the supposed job in hand.
