Scots in Rome...
Here is the web site of the Caledonian Society of Rome:
http://www.caledoniansocietyofrome.org/
And the City of Rome Pipe Band
http://www.cityofromepipeband.org/home.html
The Caledonian Society has a nice paragraph about the City of Rome tartan, which is used for their web site's background:
In late 2004 the City of Rome Pipe Band was introduced to retired weaver and tartan designer, Ken Clark, from Brora in Sutherland, Scotland, and in April 2005, with help from Ken, they decided to design their very own “City of Rome” tartan. The Black and Navy Blue background represents the colours of the “Azzuri”, the National Italian football team. The cross strip of Yellow is for the gold of the Vatican, with the over check of Maroon and Orange being the official colours of the Eternal City. The tartan has the approval of the City of Rome Authorities as the city's official tartan.
Perhaps dejudicibus will attend their Burns Night and give us a report? :mrgreen:
Cheers, 
Todd
