    "The Black Hawk tartan, the plaid representing a highland military regiment that is more than 3,000 years old, won the vote"

    Really? I had no idea the black watch (or is that black hawk) was so old.

    True or False
    (pick all that apply)

    a) It's good that they're helping worth charities.
    b) It's good that they came up with a novel way to do it.
    c) It's good to make up stuff and print it in a newspaper.

    Kiltrock has a correction to 300 years in the comments.

    Is it knife pleated or box? and to the sett or the stripe?

    Inquiring minds want to know.
