Thanks for all the comments so far - much appreciated! I must apologise for the shirt, getting a photographer and my total wardrobe choices together is not always easy! (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! 
)
The Lovat Green kilt jacket came from Hector Russell in Edinburgh (Royal Mile Branch) and seems to match most of my kilts well.

When I bought mine from the Wales Tartan Centre in Cardiff in 2005, I was told that it is "Brithwe Dewi Sant". Was I misinformed or are there different ways of naming the tartan?G]
[PS: The 'Hamish' definitely needs a little more practice, I'm afraid. Concentrate on your 'swoop', 'dip' and 'knee bend'!!!!

"Brithwe" is Welsh for "tartan" Hamish, whereas "cenedlaethol" means "national" so the Cardiff shop called it "St David's Tartan" as opposed to the name of the Tartan being "St David's National." (as it is in English and from which I did a direct translation). I guess you could have "Brithwe Cenedlaethol Dewi Sant" and encompass the fact that it's a tartan and its name. It's not uncommon for a Welsh and English phrase for something to be expressed slightly differently.
Everyone has to start somewhere so I hope to progress from beginner in Hamishing to something more expert. I had the sun in my eyes and was trying to instruct friend Michael in how to use the camera and he was having problems with zooming it for some strange reason so he wasn't necessarily capturing the ideal moments!
