This version originally showed the light green overcheck having six stripes. BU noted irregularities in the threadcount, and suggests that 4 light green stripes would produce a more plausible kilting fabric. BU created the original transcription. Earliest historical reference. Other sources give Smith Museum, Stirling as the source. See products available Copyright © Blair Urquhart, Comrie, 2015 — ΔT 1.24
