Angus County
I've been researching my family's roots in Scotland, and wow do I have questions. I've been able to trace the Orems to Monikie in present-day Angus County. Although I've studied the maps and visited a ton of websites, I have come to the conclusion that I must be daft. What region is Angus County? Just when I think I've narrowed it to the Central Lowlands, I find sites that say parts of Angus County are considered Highlands. I'm interested in understanding the cultural traditions where my family lived.
Apparently the Orems had no family tartan, but I can't find an explanation of why some families had them and others didn't. I suppose we might wear the Aberdeen tartan. Would appreciate your input on this.
Thank you for a wonderful site!
