    Well, I spent a lot of time on McCullough (?) Blvd when I lived in Portland 40 years ago.

    Imagine a few Scots were with Hudson's Bay Company.

    Happy hunting. I'm still trying to figure out where to obtain the new Oregon State University tartan....if its ever actually been woven yet.

    Don't forget the importance of Douglas Fir to the state:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas-fir


    The common name honours David Douglas, the Scottish botanist who first introduced the tree into cultivation in 1826. Douglas is known for introducing many North American native conifers to Europe.

    If I was you, I'd be less worried about this than trying to make sure a University of Oregon tartan is never ever designed, let alone woven.

    Can you imagine that fluorescent yellow in a tartan? It'd make Macleod look conservative.
