The Moy Hall Plaid - A good day's research

[figheadair]

Your point is well taken, that a thousand false things don't negate the few true ones.

Indeed, but which is which? I've not tracked down about 15 pieces of the Moy Hall plaid; several in museums, others offered for sale at various time by the likes of Christie's etc., However, if one studies them then it is clear that the differences mean that some of them can't be what they purport to be. Not that that bothers the auction houses, they’re only too happy to sell them as ‘said to have been worn by’ despite it being able to be proved that a particular piece is of a later date.

The finished the paper - here. I'm sure that sure that it will continue to be refined as further information surfaces.

Well done, Peter. One minor point and to do only with Note 1: the 'present' Moyhall referred to was dismantled in the 1940s.
