mexpiper, the New York City Tartan is one of my favourites, both for how it looks and what it represents. When I first heard of it, I knew I had to get it for my wife (born in Brooklyn). Some people (and I have a very close relation who is one of them), though, just don't get or don't agree with the idea of non-clan tartans; their loss.
PS I love the Scottish Loft in Niagara-On-The-Lake!
