Predominantly blue tartan

**JonathanB** · 24th May 13, 01:39 PM

I'm English with a French surname (presumably Hugenot, but not confirmed). I have a Black Watch kilt, which I love, and a Cornish Hunting kilt on order (both my grandmothers had Cornish connections).

I don't want to claim Scottish or clan connections when they don't exist.

But I'm sure I will want a third kilt in due course. I've got a Lovat Blue jacket on order and I'm wondering that I'd like a predominantly blue kilt. I'm quite happy to get a clan tartan if it looks nice and won't lead to me being mugged in the streets of Inverness. I've looked through Marton Mills website and there's not anything obvious.

Any recommendations?

Maybe one of the Slanj tartans, the Holyrood tartan as sported by bren in his casual wear thread.

Earl of St. Andrews tartan. It doesn't get any more predominantly blue than that.

That's what I'd recommend as well. It's also one of my favorites.

I will give a huge endoresement of the Holyrood tartan. It is really.

Why not choose YOUR Tartan. The X Marks the Scot Tartan.

It is the wallpaper of this site.

The Blue background and the White lines represent the Saltire Cross which is our emblem. The Gray lines represent the typing on our computer screens. The narrow Yellow lines represent our plant, the dandelion and the smiley faces we all use.

This Tartan is truly universal and represents to the world our community of kiltwearers.

I'd hit the 'Aye' button on Steve's post, but it's not working. Go for the Xmarks tartan!

Blue Ramsay is also a beautiful tartan! I'll post a pic tomorrow!

Jonathan,

You can click on the USA Kilts banner at the top of the page, click on the drop down for 8 yard kilts, click on Universal and District tartans and WHAMO! all kind of tartans that would be available to choose from.

There are a ton of 'em out there. You might even consider a tartan that is not blue but would go well with your blue jacket, something like "Auld Scotland" for example.

Best of luck in your search!
