Jewish tartan?

[Nanook]

Has anyone heard of a tartan associated with the Jewish people? or a Jewish family? or the nation of Israel?

There are several. Tartans, however, were not born in Scotland (neither was the bagpipe which some scholars have even suggested was brought by Jewish traders) and have an older history than the current modern approach to them as clan or family uniforms. The fringes on the Scottish plaid are..

While the first official records of Jews in Scotland date from the 17th century, Jews have been trading with and living among the lands much longer. There is much speculation, for instance, that the Gordon clan (among several others) were originally Jewish traders (גורדון) under the Norman migration. Current genetic research (still in its infancy) seems to support many of these theories that just a few years ago were considered wild and wacky.

Speaking of wacky tartans? Why not an Elvis Presley tartan--- Jewish, American and of Scottish ancestry? :-)

A special Presley tartan has been designed to honour the King of Rock and Roll's north east of Scotland roots.

Elvis's alleged roots can be traced back to tiny Lonmay in Aberdeenshire.
