I see that Andyfg wears a Northumberland Tartan kilt, and th eother night I got to thinking....

In my line on ancestors is a Captain Christian Piercy, who served in the Continental Army, Pennsylvania, in the Revolutionary War. He was a Mason, frm the Lodge in Alexandria, and the book of the History of the lodge, published in around 1820 lists him as being of the "Piercy's of Northumberland".

I understand that "Percy" and "Piercy" in Northumbria is quite the Historic name, and so since Captain Christian is a bit of a standout in my family history, I'd be interested in information regarding that tartan and its availability. It's not the "usual" tartan, not at all!

Anybody got any insights on the Northumberland Tartan and it's history? Anybody seen trews made of the stuff, or a shirt?
