Welcome from the Highlands of Kentucky (USA). My wife is first generation american of fullblooded dutch parents, so we see a fair amount of dutch treats around our house, along with a lot of dutch xmas tradition.
Actually the Forresters are allegedly originally of Flemish descent (Forrestiere), having accompanied William the Conqueror into England and then being granted lands in the Edinburgh area from which we all purportedly descend.
By the way, the dutch have at leat two tartans of their own, the dutch national official tartan and the Dutch Friendship Tartan, one my wife and I personally think is more beautiful than the national tartan. You might consider looking them up.
