Strathspey Ancient

Said to be from a waistcoat of the Strathspey Fencibles 1794-5. Appears to be a variant of the 42nd Black Watch possibly designed by General James Grant of Ballindalloch for his Strathspey Fencibles (1793 - 99). It was adopted by the RSCDS (Royal Scottish Country Dance Society) in 1984, not as the RSCDS tartan but merely a sett recommended for use by members.
