    Jewish tartan

    If you do a search of this site, you will find a couple of long threads from a couple of years ago which discussed Jewish Scots (or Scottish Jews?) wearing the Gordon tartan. It has been associated with Jews for at least several decades, going by the photographic evidence, and perhaps longer. According to Arlen, our intrepid on the ground correspondent who lived in a Jewish section of Glasgow, this tradition continues to the present time. There are several stories as to how this association came about, all are interesting, and at least one is true.

    Within the last year or so some one designed an allegedly Jewish tartan and has been trying to market it, but I don't know how well it is catching on.
