Help required with identifying Natal Scottish tartan

[ILH2020]

Salutations everyone,

 

I found this picture of a Natal Scottish badge today, and it just so happened to have a tartan backing. Unfortunately, I myself wasn't able to identify what tartan it is.

 

If anybody knows what tartan this is, please let me know.

Possibly Murray of Tullibardine, which is a red tartan, as this source says the Transvaal Scottish Regiment did.  https://www.dcdalgliesh.co.uk/regimental.

 

I am finding it almost impossible, here in Canada, to find ANY references to the Natal Scottish regiment.  Odd!

Peter I suggests you to visit tartansauthority. com there is a list of tartans weared by British or Commonwealth units . regarding the Murray of Athol tartan its more plausible than the Douglas tartan of the Natal Mounted Rifles

I did look at Murray of Athol but don't know enough about either tartans or the SA forces to make a real informed call.  My true concern is that I am unable to find ANY information on the unit under discussion.  This is an affront to my pride and my self-proclaimed expertise in researching.

Peter , dont worry , the truth will appear

After doing some more research, it seems likely to me that it is Murray of Atholl. However, I did read somewhere that they had a Mackenzie tartan backing, so that's rather conflicting.
