 * Copyright tagged as being public domain due to first publication being prior to 1923. However the image does not appear to be a (pd-art) 2D reproduction of a pre-1923 work (e.g. by photography or scanning), but rather appears to be a modern digital image.

 * The pattern depicted is in the public domain (dates to at least 1800). See for example: http://www.tartansauthority.com/research/tartan-spotlight/the-black-watch-tartan/. The digital image adds no original elements, which in the USA is required for copyrightability.  Any faithful rendition of the sett is not copyrightable because the idea and expression have been merged (see, for example, Apple Computer v. Franklin Computer., 714 F.2d 1240, 1243 "copyright protection will not be given to a form of expression necessarily dictated by the underlying subject matter." (quoting Freedman v. Grolier Enterprises, Inc., 179 U.S.P.Q. 476, 478 (S.D.N.Y. 1973))). Should not be a copyright issue. --Ndovu (talk) 21:37, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

 * This file's justification is written as if this image is a logo: clearly this is not a logo, rather its a photograph, and the image includes a by-line which indicates a clear claim copyright from Kirsty Anderson. No justification for why the image would not be replacable. Sadads (talk) 16:36, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Note: This image is currently tagged as non-free. If there is a dispute with the rationale, please tag the image with dfu or list it at WP:Non-free content review. AnomieBOT ⚡ 17:15, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
