Default Help With Tartan Identification

A few years ago I was given some pieces of tartan. They have always been at the back of my mind and I now wish to makes a small display of regimental tartans. I thought this would be rather straightforward! I now realise that there are subtle differences.

I would like some help identifying some of the tartans, especially those that are cut on a diagonal as opposed to square.

The first looks like Leslie (KOSB) to me but the second is similar with a thick white diagonal.

The third is similar to the second but is cut square (MacKenzie?). However this does not look like the one in Leigh Kitchen’s post in http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...ghlight=tartan which I have similar – fourth picture (HLI) and fifth (which may just be older).

The sixth I think is Douglas (Cameronians) and the seventh Forbes (Liverpool Scottish)-thinner white lines.

I do not know about the eighth (which is different from sixth) or ninth (pattern of ninth shown clearer on tenth).

The eleventh, I think is Government cut to A&SH.


Thank you in advance.

Chris
