While I'm not a fan of the tartan, I wouldn't classify it as ugly and I've seen much less appealing tartans in the Register. What IS ugly is the judgment and elitism displayed in this thread. Some people obviously like this tartan and why shouldn't they be allowed to register it even if it's not to your liking? Also, I would rather people wear so-called ugly tartans and still be part of the kilting community than to not wear kilts at all.
