Guys, good luck with the kilts, that is indeed a very nice tartan.

Count me as "interested but uncommitted." I may have a most satisfactory resolution to my cash-flow situation in the very near future.

Why not ask the pipe band if you could be included in their next order of 8 kilts? Is it a long wait?

BTW, Texas also has a State tartan. It's called the Bluebonnet tartan after the state flower.

It is indeed a small world!
Mt. Sterling? My 2nd Cousin 4x removed surrendered at Mt. Sterling at the close of the war.

I had a relative who served in Kentucky during the Civil War as well...with the 75th Illinois Infantry.

This is but I've just got to add that my Scobee's who remained in Kentucky sided with the Confederacy, & my 3rd great-grandfather Scobee who moved to Missouri prior to the war was a Union cavalry officer fighting guerrillas (my mother's people!)

Okay, I return y'all to the topic at hand
