What kind of garment might the Glen Affric tartan have been a part of? Obviously it's impossible to know for sure, but what was worn in tartan in those days? Wasn't it too early for a great kilt?

The Glen Affric certainly isn't 'bog' standard.

I wonder if RS being used as an anti-establishment way by the punk movement in the 70s played a role as well.

I've recently begun exploring the Mackenzie side of my heritage and I have a question. There are two crests and I wanted to know if there was a difference. Does anyone know why there are two? The...

I've never really worried too much about what t shirt I was wearing with a kilt. What color goes with IoS? All of them I say. The only guideline I'd say would be that if the shirt has a graphic on...

Copper Haze looks like a mash up of Buchanan and Maple Leaf. I like it.

I have just been informed by email and today is my second XMarks anniversary. Not nearly as long as some here, but I have enjoyed my time on this website and I hope for many more years as a member.

On my screen, the actual logo looks not unlike the Irn Bru colors. The tartan is very ugly to be sure, but I suppose that's the price paid for the ability to design tartans today, such as a tartan...

Would you describe the Royal Stewart in softer colors as ‘Royal Stewart Muted’ or is it a version specific to the King?

I am so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it can be to lose a parent.

The Irn Bru tartan deserves a mention.

Hopefully, it won't take as long to be returned to Scotland as it did last time.

Also in some denominations, Easter is a season lasting until Pentecost. So you can say, "Happy Easter" for a few weeks yet.

Would you mind sharing the technologies you used to build this? I'm a software engineer so I'm interested in this sort of thing.

What do you want to talk about?

So the tartan sold today by kiltmakers as 'Black Watch' is slightly different to the tartan the RRS uses?

Just to check, Black Watch and Government Tartan 1A as worn by the Royal Regiment of Scotland and others are the same tartan, or am I mistaken? Is there any difference between them? Sett size?...

You could have yourself measured and then ask the seller for the measurements of the jacket. I've done this for non-kilt jackets from eBay. Chest,length, shoulders,etc..

I would argue that while some patterned tweeds can be too 'busy' to go well with tartan, for the most part any color tweed 'goes' with any tartan. Has anyone ever seen someone else in a kilt and...
