    Terry is such a treasure and it's so fascinating to hear the background and thinking behind the creation of such amazing and beautiful outfits.

    When I first saw the Outlander tartan, it reminded me very much of a kilt I had made last winter. It's a weathered clan tartan (MacKay) and is just a little different than the Outlander tartan.

    I understand about not wanting to use clan tartans, but I wonder if the Weathered MacKay had been an influence on the design of the Outlander tartan.
