Can anyone identify these two tartans?

This Scott Tartan is listed with the Scottish Register of Tartan as #3688.



The description -

This is the most popular Scott tartan in modern times. Earliest reference possibly 1829 in a letter from Sir Thomas Dick Lauder to Sir Walter Scott in which he tells Scott that he had seen this tartan in a manuscript prepared for the brothers John Sobieski and Charles Edward Stuart. Scott rejected the idea very firmly. Jamie Scarlett MBE pointed out (April 2006) that it was interesting that the tartan for Rob Roy MacGregor's greatest publicist - Scott seemed to owe its origins to the Clan Gregor tartan of 1819.

There are then 16 additional Designs on the Registry.

As usual Steve your your grasp of tartans is not just a personal opinion but very thorough in the components of how a tartan is is built. Thankyou for your knowledge and the respectful way you explain it

I chose that tartan for my kilt. At the Scott gatherings I attended in Australia the Scott Green tartan was more popular.
