My favorite is the Ancient(sp?) Crawford. It is also my families Tartan.

The tartan-necktie I wore at work on Tartan Day was wonderfully special-ordered for me by Matt Newsome at the Tartan Museum, the District-of-Fife, for my biological grandfather: 
Thanks Matt. It looks outstanding with a red shirt! Someday I hope to get a kilt in this and am considering having it pleated to the paired-red-stripes.

My favorite is the Sackett: 
but what I wore was a quasi-Hunting Stewart plaid shirt and my hemp RKilt.

I like this weathered County Down. I'd like to get a nice sturdy tank made of it someday. 
But when it comes to the best Tartan Day tartan cloth, this Morrison is the quintessential tartan -- it's what one expects tartan to look like. Nothing either too subtle or too brash about it, just the right colors in the right rhythm.  |

I've got to say that my favorite tartan is the MacLeod of Lewis. It's the tartan that I have strongest ties to. It also stands out in a crowd  .

I'm with Raptor,
Wore my weathered Gordon on Tartan Day. No particular reason, just its turn in the "kilt rotation." But I do love the tartan and I'm proud of my very strong Gordon line.

| | | Carolina tartan
Since to me, Tartan Day is all about honoring the contributions of Scots and those of Scottish descent to our (USA) country's history, I wore my state's district tartan, the Carolina tartan.
Here I am at the counter in the museum's gift shop on Tartan Day: 
I'm also wearing my new Harris Tweed jacket and vest (since it was cold enough for it!) and Balmoral kilt hose.
I noticed Todd also selected a state tartan. Great looking one! The only thing better would be a pic of you wearing it in a kilt!  |
