Pics of kilted clergy please

... I've heard that Clergy (regardless of familial extraction) have, legendarily, worn the Clark/Clergy tartan for their own protection during times of inter-clan feuds and such (so as not to be targeted).

Where did you hear that?

Where did you hear that?

To be honest, I can't quite put my finger on it at the moment---my memory is not what it once was---but if I recall, I'll be sure to post the source (even if it was just my great-uncle rambling).

This is NOT the source of my statement; but, is of a similar angle: http://www.vowsfromtheheartofscotlan...lerytartan.htm There's also this picture of a kilted minister there:



There's also a similar reference here, low down on the page... This (profusion of variations on the interpretation of the origin of the sett) seems to indicate to me that these are different ways of looking at the convention of giving the Clergy a tartan of their own: so that they might be readily identified as such and given due courtesy.
