Have You Ever Had Your Tartan Disputed By A Stranger?

[Ozark Ridge Rider]

I've had people ask me twice about my Scott. Basic conversation:

What tartan is that?
Scott.
I know it's a scot, but what tartan?
Scott - with two t's.
Oh. I didn't know there was a difference.
Well, there is. The family started using two t's to make the distinction between being from Scotland or of the family.

The Scott clan tartans are interesting and varied, John. For the KC games, Anita got some Ancient Green Scott yardage and a kilted skirt form Sportkilt because that's all the clan stuff she could find on such short notice. Beautiful tartan.

We had several people at the clan tent tell us that couldn't be a Scott tartan, because it should be red. Fortunately Anita had JPEG's of all the Scott tartans she could find, (at least 12) and disabused several of their assumptions.

We know just enough not to be telling people they're wrong about their stuff.
