Tartan identification

Hi
Can anyone identify the tartan in the attached photo?
I'm not sure if colour is needed for identification-if it is then I apologise now for asking a stupid question.
Many thanks for looking.
Regards Andrea.

Yes, you need the colours for tartan identification. They all look alike in black and white. An interesting website is www.tartans.scotland.net/tartan_types/clan.cfm.htm
Hope this helps.

I have an article written concerning the Landrum family
(Lendrum) It is registered with the Scottish Tartan Society and is better known as the "MacFarlane" tartan.
The coat of arms is on record in the General Armory of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
The first two to come to the America were John and James to Old Rappanhanock County which became Essex county, Virginia
I am related to James who married Mary Browne

I am a Landrum and my wife is a Macfarlane. I've heard they share a tartan? What can you tell me about Landrum and tartans?

Hi
Absolutely nothing. If you look at my posting I was asking the question also.
