I went with the Watson Ancient (my last name is Wood) from www.scottishkilts.com in the 16 oz jura range.

Here's a picture of the kilt (tartan close up) and the dress sporran I got as well.

Your definitely confusing me know. I have never heard of a sept of a sept. A sept is a family associated to a clan so how can you have a family that has pledged allegiance to a clan which has pledged allegiance to a clan?

Watson was not a clan (that's why they were a sept) and therefore nobody can be a sept of it as such. Watsons were septs of clan Buchanan AND Forbes. They would wear the colours of the relevant clan. If Woods were wearing these clan colors then they are a direct sept not a sept of the sept.

I do stand to be corrected though. :confused: :confused:
