Bob,

I certainly wasn't advocating that we discount Naeme entirely; however, as a historian I was taught to never depend on just one source, and to consider possible factors to place a primary source in context. However, the one post from the piper who asked Kenny Dalgleish, a man whose business is to know tartans, seems to confirm that it is Brown Scott. Such an observation, if legitimate, certainly would confirm what Rathdown has said about the adoption of the tartan.

It is interesting to note, btw, that Jock's swipe that "Cock O' The North" is a "cheesy tune" was also Kennaway's personal dig at his old regiment, from which he reportedly took his inspiration.
