yesterday i went into strathmore wollen mill to see about designing a tartan for my family name.

i kind of had an idea of what i wanted, mainly a green tartan, like a hunting colour.

well, going into the shop and getting shown all the tartans they have in stock kind of put my head in a tizz. i've been more drawn to the ancient/old colours, but think that it's a new tartan, should it be more in the modern colours?
