I know and il's the problem. A clan without a plant badge ? Unlucky I am.

This website is one of my favorites. But no information on Montgomerie plant badge in other websites...

Hello Sigismond, as far as I know the Montgomery(Montgomerie) clan does not have a plant badge. Others may say different. Do you, by any chance, come from Normandy? Oh and welcome, from Inverness-shire.

Jock,

Have you ever seen plant worn as a badge where you live? When was the last time? How is or was it usually worn?

Jock,

The only time I have seen the plant badge(juniper) worn is when the Atholl Highlanders parade.I think they only wear it when The Duke has his annual parade,I stand to be corrected here.
.Other than that, hardly ever and never by ordinary people going about their daily business.

As I understand it, in the distant past, the clans wore the easiest plant that they could get hold of to help identify "their" side as opposed to the "others" in battle.A blue on blue situation was a problem then,in battle, as it is now.

Yes Jock, I come from Normandy. I have lonks with Macalpine, Robertson, Montgomerie and Hay clans. And Hay and Montgomerie are clan which take their origin in Normandy in french we say "la boucle est bouclée", in english, I don't know.

The links are far in the past but I "know", I feel, my ancesters were scots long time ago... Now, I just wear taratan scarves to go to my job dreaming riding in the high or lowlands :-)

Bienvenue sur ce forum.

J'espère que nous aurons l'occasion de nous mieux connaître et apprécier. (Je suis l'heureux élu de Lady Chrystel).

La plante propre à la communauté de ce forum est le pissenlit ! Facile à trouver... et ça peut dépanner quand il n'y a rien d'autre !

à tout bientôt, donc !

J'avais eu l'occasion d'échanger un peu avec Lady C. sur Cramax.

Ce week end, j'ai pu admirer le "blue bonnet" arboré par mon père et celui qu'il a offert à ma femme. Lady C. a effectué un travail remarquable, mes félicitations à madame.

Nos hôtes anglophones risquent de prendre ombrage de cet échange en français mais mon anglais est vraiment mauvais. Manque de pratique. Depuis le secondaire je ne m'en sert guère.

J'ai particulièrement apprécié, sur Cramax, vos photos en kilt Donnachaidh ayant moi même des liens ténus avec ce clan. Si on se fie à vos photos, vous devez avoir une belle collection de kilt...

Aucune idée sur ce que peut être la plante emblématique des Montgomerie ?

A bientôt sur ce site.
