Tartan Creation

[macwilkin]

Sounds like you have the same sort of ethnic goulash of a background that I have.

Chef pointed out the Polish Tartan that I read about a while back.

I would remind you, though, that the Polish/Scots connection goes back to none other than Bonnie Prince Charlie himself.

Toward the end of the Wikipedia article on BPC, you'll see that it has pretty much been concluded that the infamous Sobieski Stuart Brothers (who would, no doubt, be more than willing to whip up a tartan for you were they alive today) were, alas, not the true descendants of BPC. Another legend falls!

There is of course, a "Prince Charles Edward Stuart" tartan -- and the Jacobite Army contained the Irish Piquets, Irish soldiers in the service of France who were seconded to the Pretender.
