X marks an old flame

I was told about this site when an old girlfriend from a lot of years ago now living in Virginia read an article on here about the Sakura tartan and thought she recognised my name. Since then we've been corresponding and catching up.
She married a US airman from the old base at Edzell and emigrated. I stayed put and married into the Edinburgh Gaelic Mafia. Were both happily married with grown-up children but reminiscing about what might have been. How romantic? But nothing to do with kilts.
I have three. An Ancient McGill, a Midlothian District and a Wimbledon District but wear my Queen of Scots tartan trews more often than not. However I have sold kilts in 14 of the tartans I've designed.
You ran a article on here about the Arsenal district tartan which resulted in an order for a kilt from California. The colours are not as you described. They are red and white for the traditional colours with cherry red and gold representing the original colours of Arsenal FC which they wore for their last season at Highbury before moving to the Emirates Stadium. Glad you liked anyway though.
