Your tartans and Why?

**MacMillan of Rathdown** · 19th February 08, 08:05 AM

I've been kilted for forty years, and in all that time I've never felt the need to wear anything other than one of the MacMillan tartans. The sole exception was when I belonged to a Scottish club in Los Angeles, and all of the officers wore Black Stewart kilts. So, at the present time, I've got two MacMillan Hunting kilts, two MacMillan Ancient kilts, and trews in MacMillan Hunting. My genealogy reads like the aftermath of some ancient Scottish battle-- it is littered with dead McBains, Douglasses, Mackays, McReas, Campbells, MacDonalds, and a whole lot more. I respect each and every one of these ladies who married in to my family, but I am a MacMillan. That's my name, that's my clan, and that's my tartan.

Well, I am NOT a MacMillan but I still wear the tartan with pride as my kilt was given to me by a certain generous MacMillan!
