I wonder what the signifigance of placement and positioning are? Symbolic or identification purposes? Both?

Karmen,
Just check the swatch & badge on my HLI tam on the bookshelf... all tartans are different, some more so than others. The swatches such as we see here are carefully oriented according to the traditions of the pattern. I believe Mark is right in his assessment - as you are in your judgement of proportion - but I'd like some confirmation that the SD&Gs were indeed in Hilversum.
