A number of my SCV brothers wear this tartan in kilt form. I've thought about it myself, but because I have so many family connections to the Highlands & Islands, I've already got too many tartans to choose from

Nine of my Scobee's rode under the banner of John Hunt Morgan, while 3 of my Moore's served with the mighty Stonewall Brigade (one was later with Early when he burned Chambersburg). Another three of my kin rode with Quantrill out of Missouri.

I had a 3rd great-grandfather Scobee who was a Union officer in Missouri who fought guerrillas (ironic, no?). In one engagement the lead was flying so heavy it was reported the ears of his horse was shot off!

Being raised by Southerners, my sympathies naturally lie with the reb's, however I am proud of all of my ancestors, Blue or Gray, for they fought for what they believed in, for their own reasons, and I find no fault in that.

As someone else said, there is no reason why you can't wear the Confederate Memorial tartan, just remember what (& whom) it stands for, and honour the memory of that terrible struggle.

Cheers.
