    Re: YOUR tartan

    I'll stick with my family's, Clan Scott. We got a red, a green, and a monochrome, never mind the Sobieski's fooling around with the red back in the day.

    My wife's favorite is Black Watch.

    If I could be re-incarnated into some other clan in the future, I really like Loud MacLeod.

    This is a very simple test. I didn't have to look in the back of the book for the answer and didn't have to take off my shoes to do the math.

    Love 'em all or wouldn't buy them - but current favorite has to be the Arizona tartan.

    Re: YOUR tartan

    My tartan is shown in the upper left corner. It's the Stephen-Mathieson, Scottish Register of Tartans #10108. The version I had woven is much nicer than the image, with dark indigo blue and forest green. I am thinking of having a "weathered" version woven, but only enough for a single kilt.
    EPITAPH: Decades from now, no one will know what my bank balance looked like, it won't matter to anyone what kind of car I drove, nor will anyone care what sort of house I lived in. But the world will be a different place, because I did something so mind bafflingly eccentric that my ruins have become a tourist attraction.

    Re: YOUR tartan

    My tartan is our family tartan - the Blaylock. It was designed in 1950 by a then 17-year old Philip D. Smith for a friend of his at what, today, is called Pepperdine University.

    I'll post a pic of the kilt, when I get a good one. I have to fire the model first, and then find someone who can take a decent photograph!

    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    Re: YOUR tartan

    I guess my tartan would have to be Taylor ancient although that said its not my favourite.
    There are two that I really like and in some ways are a bit similar and that would be Isle of Skye and Macdonald of Clanranald weathered.

    Re: YOUR tartan

    I have two tartans that I can claim as "mine": my own design (New World Irish) and my clan tartan (MacQuarrie).


    Here is the NWI:

    Re: YOUR tartan

    I designed a tartan too, Cook, intended for the Cooks and MacCooks of Arran and Kintyre, and have a kilt made up in it, which I never wear! It's REALLY heavy.

    Here's the story of it, image, and photo of me wearing my kilt
