    Re: Help identify this tartan and subject

    Cant make out the detail in the badge. Is there anything in the lion's raised paw? If a blade is extending from the paw, length and angle would help determine clan representation.

    From body shape, Farquharson, MacDuff and Young are all possible as well as others.

    The tartan is Cameron of Erracht, not MacDonnell of Glengarry. This can be determined not by trying to determine the colour of the bright stripe, but by its position, in this case in the Blue block bordered by a Red stripe at the Black, whereas Glengarry has the bright (White) stripe in the Green block without a Red stripe bordering the Green by the Black.
