A nice tartan but so much nicer IMHO in the original c1830 shades.

There's only one known example and that's a silk piece that was held by the Scottish Tartans Society but I've no idea where it is now. I wove it in Wilsons of Bannockburn's shades (weavers of the original specimen). I'll try and find a sample and post a pic.

Thanks, I'd love to see that as well.
