Who knew it wasn't just a style for a tie? It is actually a district tartan. Part of my lineage is a Caldwell which inhabited that area. We could not find a Clan, but found a district tartan. I really would like to buy the clergy one to fit for the ministry related things I will do. Now that I have had it a couple of days, I really like wearing it. May it's just the "newness" (if that's a word).

Thanks for the encouraging comments.
