A quick question for y'all

[Calico Jack]

Not that this matters when it comes to wearing a kilt, but I was curious as to how many of you out there are Scottish? I was born there, but am having some trouble finding a clan tartan. If anyone has any experience finding clan tartans, i could sure use some help.

I am an Irishman. When I married my wife, i was adopted into Clan Gunn. Believe it or not, I find myself quite proud of that.

What is your clan name or do you have any information. I might be able to help you.

Cheers,
Allen

If your last name is Scottish (I assume it is since you were born there) you can just type it into a tartan search thing. I think http://www.tartanfiner.com has one

The problem is that I don't think that my last name is Scottish. As far as I know, Burke, my last name is an Irish name, as is O'Donnell, my mum's maiden name.

My source indicates Burk is a sept of MacDonald. Many tartans to choose from! 8)

On my mothers side it's Greely, a sept of MacNeil, and Hamilton.

My last name is Hailey. It took me two years to find my clan. I went to the Loch Norman Highland Games and checked with a lot of the Clan reps. there. I found the name Haylee at Clan Hay. They told me that a lot of times when someone came into the US the imigration people just spelled names like they sounded. I never found and thing with the tartan search places. Clan Hay isn't even listed in most of them and the Lord High Constable of Scotland is an heredetary title passed on to the clan chiefs of Clan Hay! My mothers name was Rodgers. Robert Rogers, of Rogers Rangers fame, parents were Scottish imigrants. I have never found that name either! Just keep looking, something will turn up!

I'm first generation Canadian of Welsh/English descent.

I'm half Welsh half English. My surname, Davison, is a sept of the Scottish Davidson. my grandmother was a Davies.

So I have a Davidson tartan kilt which is of Scottish origin and am looking at a Davies Cilt which is of Welsh origin.

I also 'qualify' for a Northumbrian tartan kilt as I was born within the boundaries of the old Northumbria
region of England.

Complicated huh?

My last name is Westfall, which is Dutch or possibly German, but I know nothing about that part of my family. I know mostly relatives on my Mother's side which is 90% Irish and my Dad's mother's side who are Scottish Murdochs (members of Clan Donald).
