Tartan ID Help Please

A friend of mine says his high school band wore this tartan years ago.
They no longer do and the people who purchased it are no longer around.
He is wondering what tartan it is?

Thanks for any help.

Not the clearest of photos but it looks like it might be 'Holyrood'.

I think I see a red stripe in the blue Peter.

Steve, you are correct about the red stripe. There also seems to be some green on either side of the red in the under apron. Unless my magnifier is dirty or the some distortion of the photograph.

Sorry for the quality. I copied this from FB. I'll ask for a bigger copy.
There is a red stripe.

Thank you

Any idea as to the name of the school?

It's the Musselborough tartan.

Well found David. In my defence, I'm in a bunk house in Wester Ross and looking on my phone.

I just saw this thread now. + 1 for the Mussleburgh tartan.

Thanks for the help. I sent the ID on and he is very appreciative. What threw them off is that the school is Glasgow High School in Glasgow, Kentucky. He was searching for a tartan that might have had a Glasgow, Scotland connection. Musselburgh is east of Edinburgh so he never would have made the connection. It appears whoever chose the tartan did so solely because it is very close to the school's colors. The mascot is a Scottie Terrier.

Thanks again.
