Tartan on a Tam O' Shanter

[JeffV]

Hi everyone,

 

Could you please help me to identify the tartan on this Canadian made tam o' shanter? I've looked everywhere with no luck.

 

Thanks,

Jeff

Nova Scotia Highlanders?

Here is a link to Canadian regimental tartans pre-1914.  I don't see your example there, but if it was a War raised unit, that's not surprising.  Maybe worth a look though.

I think I've found it!  Nova Scotia Highlanders!  'cap badge tartan' on ebay

The Nova Scotia Highlanders wore this one pictured, MacDonald tartan, while the North Nova Scotia Highlanders wore the Murray of Atholl Tartan.

Murray of Atholl tartan, note in picture below of the badge, it is worn as a cross centered on the red stripes.
