    I've not seen that MacPherson tartan before that I remember. I really like it, and you look terrific in it. The colors of the tartan make me wonder how a brown sporran might look (just wondering, can't be sure I would prefer it). But back to the tartan. MacPhersons from the different mills vary so widely, and the hunting, red, ancient, and muted are all so different. I wonder why the Chief choses the hunting when he could have the lovelier one like you show here? I am assuming you have seen the pictures of Cluny posted here last year in a thread about Chiefs taken by Thistledown at the Clan Chattan Band of Union resigning. You can see more at the Clan Chattan web site.

    Very nice indeed! It looks to be Lochcarron's MacPherson Weathered (which is available in 16 oz.) rather than the House of Edgar's MacPherson Muted (13 oz.).

    I agree, though Burnett's and Struth seems to list it alphabetically under Muted MacPherson, making it a bit harder to find!

    Yeah, when I first started looking through their selection of tartans it took me quite a while to spot the muted MacPherson. At first I thought the ancient hue was the way I was going to go. They also have some MacPhersons listed as various blues, though I'm not really sure what the big differences are. But the reds in those tartans sure are RED.

    I think all of the B&S sale casuals are Locharron tartan. A fine kilt, by the way.
