I was thinking of getting a new kilt that had some family meaning to it. I already own a kilt in the Buchanan Hunting Tartan but my last name is merely a sept of that clan. So, to be honest, I really do not feel any personal connection with that particular tartan. My family did not even reside in the Buchanan's part of Scotland. My fathers side of the family originally came from a small town in Aberdeenshire. This got me thinking, since my family name is a lowland one, Watt, maybe my next kilt should be a district tartan that has a real connection with my family heritage. Upon doing some research I do not see any mill that makes the Aberdeen tartan in 16oz heavy weight. This got me to thinking, do locals in the Aberdeen area never get kilts in this tartan? I was just curious if it is very uncommon in Scotland to get a kilt made from a district tartan. I know most of us here on XMTS do not reside in Aberdeenshire let alone Scotland but I welcome any and all to respond with comments on the matter.
