What's this tartan and what else do you see?

I can't resist: more hints. The chair is early-Victorian from a set of 24 carved with the Mackintosh coat of arms. Originally they were in the dining room here:



The bed beside it, and its skirt, have stories of their own.

And here of course is all that's left of that once lovely house.



Some of the interior panelling was used in the current Moy Hall.

But it is. And so?

So... the fabric covering the seat could conceivably have come from a kilt?

Conceivably but in all likelihood not. But you're on the right track.

Is it a snippit of cloth from the arisaid of Lady Anne Farquharson-Mackintosh?

No, it's not from her or anyone else's arisaid. In fact, I doubt very much that Lady Anne, given her social rank, would have ever worn an arisaid which, in any event, was probably outdated as a form of dress by that date and not widely used.

[Jack Daw]

Was it a banner of some sort?

No, getting colder.

Could it have come from a coat, perhaps worn by household staff? A weak guess, but I am stumped. It`s been fun learning a bit about the Mackintoshes and Moy Hall though.

No, not a coat. Come on guys, think Highland Dress.

Well then , perhaps the fabric is from a Lairds Plaid . I'm running out of thoughts
