That would be Regimental style.
Used to volunteer at the Tartan Museum when it was in Highlands ( now currently in Franklin, NC), Dr Gordon Teal the curator of the Scottish Tartan Museum, would visit us on occasion. One memorable trip we all took was down to the games at Stone Mountain, Ga. Many of the early settlers of the Southern Blue Ridge and down into Ga were from Scotland.
Mine is a formerly issued Gordon tartan from the Gordon Highlanders before they were amalgamated. The former owner’s name is written inside, the same surname as my Grandfather. BYDAND translation stay and fetch ( stay and fight) aka the survivors.

Interesting stuff...although highly toxic... especially after a night of single malt. Not appropriate for any in doubt!
