• Notes: Count by PEM from a photograph of a lady's skirt submitted for identification in Jan 2014 by a gentleman who said of it: 'My friend has a kilt that was left to him from his now pasted grand mother who (he claims) told him the tartan of her kilt is his clans. He is the problem that I have been trying to find, I want to get him a kilt in the same tartan but the tartan on her kilt is not of the 2 clans that he has family in (Hume and Ayton). We I asked him what tartan it was he said brown watch. Needless to say that is not a clan. I looked at the different tartans that go to watches but none of them look like it. I have reached out of a few people and like wise we can't find the clan if there is one that this goes too. I was referred to you by the staff at the web site Scottish Register of Tartans. I am sending you a photo of the kilt to see if you can help me id it. At the time we took a photo of the back of it since the front aprons where destroyed when he moved. If your able to help that would mean a lot. As far as I can tell it does not belong to any clans or the such and very well maybe be a fashion tartan all together.' Although there are no measurements the proportions make it look like a liked skirt rather than a male kilt. The tartan appears to be a modern trade pattern and is probably late C20th.
