I happen to have some ancient Armstrong tartan, and should my wearing of it ever be cause for comment the enquirer will discover my interest in Sir William Armstrong, - owner of the first house in the world to be illuminated by electric light, from hydro electric power.

Once the eyes glaze over it is fairly certain that the original question will have been forgotten....

I seem to remember that Golly MacKenzie - in Monarch of the Glen, had a quality kilt in a MacDonald tartan, which I thought was perfectly natural, him being Hector's man and thereby showing that allegiance.

Would that not be right?
