Feels like a fun thing to announce you're wearing the "Bog Tartan" and then get to go into a ramble about it's history when people ask :0)
Uh, I would suggest referring to it as the "Peat Bog Tartan" just to be a bit more clear. In the UK, "bog" is slang for the toilet.

Interesting!
An Irish guy I did a couple gigs with used the term "bog Irish" to mean rural peasant Irish, sort of the Irish equivalent of the US hillbilly.
Now I'm unsure which meaning of "bog" he had in mind!

The Glen Affric certainly isn't 'bog' standard.

He meant peat bog - an old mate of mine is from Mayo, his wife is from Dublin, when he went a little of tangent she would pull him up by jokingly say he was "such a bogger".

Jock, I found the colors to be rather like camoflage, for that Glen Affric area ... I does make sense as the dyes were originally made from local plants and such.
I prefer the Angels Share tartan over this one.
It is good they did go through the effort to bring back an Historic tartan though

I think most within the Uk would understand the intended meaning of the word in general conversation, without a second thought.
