    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.

    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. :(

    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.
