Kingussie Kilt

[figheadair]

I'm am wondering if there is a MacDonald Tartan that better lends itself to Kingussie pleating than another? i.e. MacDonald of Glenaladale vs MacDonald vs MacDonald of Prince Edward Island. Do some setts pose problems for the kiltmaker?

I've mentioned the so-called MacDonald of PEI elsewhere and the fact that I don't believe that there is/was any such tartan and that it's an error for Wilsons' Flora MacDonald. Whatever one calls it, it would not make a good Kingussie pleated kilt if one wanted the sett to repeat in a balanced way in either direction from the central pleat.

The Glenaladale on the other hand would be superb as would Clan Donald, Clanranald, Glengarry, Kingsburgh, Aird & Valley and host of other Macdonald setts.
