Yes Matt, well done. I too did not understand the difference, or is in not a difference? I wear the MacPherson tartans because they are of the Chattan Clan (or is it the other way around?). Anyway, I am planning on making kilts with any material I can get ahold of at an inexpensive price. As long as I can identify the tartan, I am happy.

Good hunting all,
