I did not mean to suggest that the Campbell of Argyle that I wear is the only one available as you correctly pointed out. The one readily available has yellow as part of the pattern. Although it appears in the tartan registry it is not recognised by the Campbell (Argyle) clan. My ancestory is via Argyle Campbells and as there is a plaid available with the Argyle name I chose it despite it not being a recognised CLAN tartan. It was worn with pride at Hogmanay. I also wear the Campbell Family tartan. There are 37 Campbell tartans registered. It is a wonder anyone can chose other than by colour and pattern preference.
