Irish Young v. Scottish Young

[Oldhiker]

Well, the Young Clan has long been a sept of the Douglas Clan, the best and largest pre-Culloden tartan in existence is that of Christina Young and one of the tutors to King James himself, so I guess, at least in my book, the Youngs are Scottish enough.

The Young name is widespread in both Ireland and Scotland. When you speak in terms of ancestry you need to point out what time period. If you go back far enough the Celts were in Europe. The migration then follows to Ireland and then Scotland.

So I might say once upon a time my family was Basque.

I like the colors of that Christina tartan.
