| | | US tartans...
There are two tartans that I know of, the US St. Andrew's tartan, and the American tartan. www.district-tartans.com/us_standrews.htm www.district-tartans.com/american.htm
At one time, the US St. Andrew's tartan was known as the Bicentennial tartan, and there was a move to adopt it as the "official" tartan for the 200th anniversary of the US, but that was rejected. The "St. Andrew" in the name refers to the fact that a number of US St. Andrew's societies had adopted it as a tartan for their members to wear.
There are also a number of American state, and in some cases, city and county tartans as well. The District Tartans web site lists them: http://www.district-tartans.com/usa.htm
Cheers,
Todd

Well, like I said I am thinking of saving up to register a tartan for the McHenrys all over the globe, we are a sept that is apperently part of three clans, I dont see why we cant have a tartan of our own.

Ive got single gild stripes instead of double, I love the Green Black white and Gold theme, I want to design one to register for the MacHenry so anyone can use it.
I didnt use blue as the us army one does

This is an olllllllllllllllllllllld thread. But, for some reason it showed up in "related" threads on another I was reading tonight. Anyway, just thought I would point out that "McHenry" is simply "Henderson." Not a "sept" of, but the same thing. Both are from the Gaelic MacEanruig which simply means "son of Henry." I read the few posts with this and was surprised someone hadn't made that connection already. Heck, I even see a fellow Henderson posted on this one when it was "hot" and didn't make the connection.  BLU!
