I have not posted an album from Phototbucket before so here goes.. I have also posted to "The Tartan Corner"? Quick update for those who don't know.. My husbands Uncle passed away recently and we inherited 13 kilts. The family hails from the Orkney Islands. My husbands Grandfather was born there. The names we know we are related to are Norquay (which originated on the Orkney Islands) and Matches. Our Uncle Bill had done loads of research but never really got to the point of sharing much. I have done some searching through Ancestry.com, but was not sure what I was finding. We are interested in finding out exactly which clan we are a part of. Uncle Bill seemed certain it was Sinclair. I have taken pictures of all the kilts to see if you all can find some common denominator that might help or if he just bought what caught his fancy... Thank you for you help..

The pics are pretty small, but expert opinions should start appearing soon. I could see them, but I'm not a tartan expert.

Ummm, look like SportKilts. You should find all your tartans on the SportKilt website.

A looks like Black Stewart. G looks like the Hawaiian tartan.

Its okay to take off the silly patches...just use a seam ripper with care and they'll come off.
