    Town of Franklin Kilt

    Placed an order yesterday for a 4yd boxer in the Town of Franklin tartan. I was born and raised there and will be put in the ground there when I'm done so its fitting. I'll be sporting it at the Grandfather Games next year. The colors are beautiful and if you haven't seen it before, give it a google.

    Where is this 'Town of Franklin' located? My wife grew up in Franklin, Virginia. It isn't that one, is it?
    Scotland is only 1/5 the size of Montana, but Scotland has over 3,000 castles and Montana has none.

    That is the official tartan of the town of Franklin, NC, home of the Scottish Tartans Museum.

    You can read the story of the tartan here.

    That's awesome. And I know Mrs. McSween will be really proud, too. She's one of the sweetest ladies in the world, for sure.

    Great choice, sir!

    I'd bet every state has a town of Franklin. New York does, just a few miles from where I live.

    Enjoy your new kilt!
