The names "Gala Water" and "Gallowater" seem to be interchangeable and which is used seems to depend on the source.
The count was taken from a manuscript account book in the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland in Queen Street, Edinburgh. In 1996 Lochcarron produced something very close to this for Peter Anderson & Co of Galashiels and it was also incorporated into Lochcarron’s Border Tartan Collection.
WHat appears to be this tartan from J McGregor Hsstie & Margaret MacDougall has scarlet in place of the light blue shown here.
