Peter, I saw this article earlier and I hope you don't mind but I printed off a copy to keep in my shop as a reference.
A really great interview and your comments and answers to the questions were superb.
Congratulations.

Nicely done Peter. 
I hope the article gets world wide publicity and should be posted in a prominent place in every kilt shop worldwide and at every tourist tartan shop, museum, hotel and pub in Scotland. Further more, those visiting Scotland would be well advised to read and inwardly digest what has been said, well before they book their tickets.

I always think it might help people to understand the evolution of Highland dress if they look at this picture of a Highlander painted around 1573 just before the feileadh became worn belted.

A great read and useful information, thanks Figheadair.
There is one minor typo in the section about the Stewart's, where it says James VIII of England and James III of Scotland

Lots of great info. Curious though as to why those in Scotland tend to stick to just one tartan if the name associated with the tartan only goes back couple hundred years.Why not enjoy others?

No that’s not a typo James VII Of Scotland James II of England fled the throne during the glorious revolution of 1688 his son was proclaimed king James III of Scotland James the VIII of England and Ireland as well as France upon his fathers death (which was kind of awkward as his cousin Louis king of France was sheltering the family at the time)

That’s about 9 generations. Seems long enough for traditions to get set in stone. I’ve seen traditions in families followed religiously that are just a few generations old, let alone 9.
