Identification of a tartan
Hi guys
In my quest to create my own kilt, I have found a haberdashers that has some tartan fabrics, but with the vastness of tartans available, and my being red/green colourblind, I struggle to ID the tartans, could I get your help?
I have attached them here.
    
Apologies for image quality, was a quick snap before they were closing!

The dreaded auto-correct. It shows say Bumbee - a tartan like pattern that is either not actually a tartan, or one that it a fashion pattern made for non-Scottish uses i.e. general clothing and furnishing.

ahhh ok! I mean, for the price (it's all polyviscose), at £3 per metre, I may as well get a few yards and have a crack at it! Worst comes to worst, I can make a skirt for my kids, best comes to best, I get a nice new kilt 
Will try with the actual named patterns though

The middle tartan is Auld Lang Syne Grey "designed and produced by Kinloch Anderson"

The original Auld Lang Syne tartan has pretty stained-glass-window colours.
The blue & yellow one, though simpler and more garish, is along the lines of these tartans
