    Thanks for them pics. "Grant" is a family name going back to my great great uncle - my great great great grandfather's first born after he came back from the American Civil War. No doubt named after the general.

    But my grandmother carried it on by giving it to my father as a middle name, and I am a junior, and my daughter and her daughter carry Grant as a middle name too.

    Though its not a blood clan, I'm guessing five generations and the original honors make it appropriate. Grandfather Murdoch Macdonald always said the name was in honor of U.S. Grant's hard riding, hard fighting, and hard drinking.

    And, its a fine looking tartan too...another one on the wish list.

    The kilt looks beautiful, the tartan looks close to the Ancient Campbell tartan

    Well that's because they're the same tartan. Doesn't get much closer than that.

    I was just thinking, if I didn't know better I'd swear that was an Ancient Campbell Tartan. Look out for the McDonalds, some can be quite sensitive.

    That is a good looking kilt, you can't go wrong with a Lochcarron Kilt, they make a very high quality kilt. Lovat Green or Lovat Blue hose will look good with the kilt, they will match the green and blue in the kilt. Oatmeal hose with a tan shirt will also work well. Look at www.ccsna.org website, you will find some pictures of the Duke of Argyll wearing that tartan with red hose. They look great with the tartan.

    You are going to enjoy that kilt.
