    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

    Looks like the "MacLeod of Skye (Johnston)" to me; see:

    MacLeod of Harris, maybe, but I've gotten this quiz wrong before.

    Yes, it is a MacLeod, but it's the much more common MacLeod of Harris (aka MacLeod Hunting).

    But the OP's original pic has the stripes reversed, or so it lokks to me. The M of H shown above has the yellow stripe in the green and the red stripe in the blue. The OP shows just the opposite. So what does that make it? Made in Pakistan?

    Ummm... I think you're right. It's SIMILAR to Farquharson (yellow through green, Red through Blue), but it's an ABAC tartan with the red coming only every other section. After looking more closely, I argee that it's NOT MacLeod.
