I believe you have to be a chief to create a "clan(crest) badge". As an armiger, he is entitled to wear his crest as a badge, but for anyone else to wear his crest as a badge (encircled with a...

The K&C and Trad Kilters groups are meeting at the tartan forest at 2pm (Sat and Sun). Do you guys want to meet up there at the same time or at the Tartan Museum Tent at like 1/1:30 (Sat only due to...

Sounds good to me, the "Traditional Kilters" facebook group has already lumped in for a meet-up at the same time.

First year they're doing this one. Fingers crossed it goes well.

Ill be there both days, helping out at the Murray tent but happy to come to a meet-up. I set up a meet-up for the K&C Facebook group at 2pm at the Tartan Forest(both days). So any time other than...

I just bought a couple yards to make a tartan 'flag' for our clans parade of tartans (at highland games). I'd echo this review exactly. Colors and appearance (at a distance) are just fine. It's...

The sallet is the common helm granted to organizations (and also companies I think). We have the same for the Murray Clan Society.

Thanks! I too have an ancestor from Ireland (Co. Monaghan) but unfortunately, you can only petition as you describe through the College of Arms. As a foreigner, we must have an ancestor AND living...

Wonderful arms. I just assumed mine last year. I dug into heraldry a while back while studying my Scottish roots. My styling is indeed Scottish but sadly I have not found a connection all the way...

Quick bump. Need confirmations by this weekend to know if we're pulling the trigger. Sláinte!

Hello all, I proposed a (simplified) Burns Supper in a Facebook group and got some positive responses. Wanted to extend the invite here as I know several folks here have arranged them in the past....

I'm far from an expert but have been going through similar research for 'my' clan, Murray. I think your last point is the critical point: "I've read about clans from companies trying to sell tartan...

I think you are exactly correct on the distinction, but I think the space is there, just barely visible in the OPs photo….which appears to be a version of Locharrons image of Gunn ancient.

Agreed. Looks like Gunn ancient.

I'll be following this thread. I enjoy a cigar every couple of months but with small kids (and similar outdoor constraints to Father Bill) I rarely find the opportunity to enjoy a full session....

Sounds like this turned out to be a proper comedy of errors :lol:
Our AGM was moved to 2pm at the last minute so I was also unable to meet as well. Thanks for working the games, our clan enjoyed...

Ill be there both days (Murray Tent), would definitely be up for meeting and 2pm works for me. Cheers!

Over the past years I've gotten more and more into genealogy, specifically of course, my (distant) Scottish connections. That inevitably led me to my clan: Murray, our chief: the 12th Duke of Atholl,...

I'm in. Coming from about an hr west of Atlanta but very doable on a Friday or Saturday night.

Thanks, it felt that way!

Had a fantastic weekend fall into place. Just before leaving for a long overdue family gathering on the Georgia coast, received a delivery from USA Kilts way sooner than expected. Finally got a...

I second this being amazing :clap:. I just ordered the first kilts for my kids (3,5,7) and made clear they could pick their tartan (USA Kilts). 1 Stewart, 2 'Albannach'...all picked based on favorite...
