    Tartans of Canada's Highland Regiments

    I just picked up the latest issue of The Highlander magazine today (May/June 2010), and there is a nice little article on Canada's Highland Regiments.

    There's a table in it listing the 'Canadian Regiments With a Scottish Affiliation' which lists the tartans worn by these regiments. I thought some of the rabble might find this of interest, so I'll post it here:
