Walker tartan?

[Rampant Lion]

The smarter and more knowledgable guys beat me to it, but I was going to say that my understanding is that there are so many Walker strands that there are several routes which one might choose in determining exactly which "clan" to claim.

I had a friend who was a Walker, and he decided to go with the tartan on Walker Shortbread boxes as the easiest route. It's a very ice red tartan, similar to MacGregor, I think.

The tartan on the Walker shortbread boxes/tins is the Grant tartan. If I remember correctly I read somewhere that the reason they chose the Grant tartan was because there wasn't a Walker tartan and that they were located in Grantown.

The Grant's are also supposedly part of the Siol Alpin, which also includes the MacGregors with whom the name Walker has some associations (qv)...
