Kirkin' of the Tartan

[macwilkin]

I was raised Presbyterian and we didn't have any tartan's displayed that I can rememver. I lived in Pennsylvania, you'd think that a tradition that was started in DC would convey..

I think it really depends on the congregation. Remember that Dr. Marshall was also a member of the St. Andrew's Society of Washington DC (and the Atlanta St. Andrew's Society), and so he did have a tie to the local Scottish-American community.

I was raised Presbyterian myself, and the church I attended didn't have tartans either, but my mother and grandmother frequently discussed our Scottish Presbyterian heritage with me growing up.

Whilst the PCUSA has its roots in Scotland and the Kirk, many Presbyterians are unaware of the strong connection.
