After much anticipation, the MacSimoin tartan has been completed: The long awaited delivery of the very first woven sample arrived on August 10, 2005. Matthew Newsome (kiltmaker and Curator of the Scottish Tartans Museum in Franklin, North Carolina) provided his expertise in finalizing the design of the tartan, and then paved the way for the MacSimoin tartan to be woven by DC Dalgliesh Ltd. of Selkirk, Scotland. My heartfelt gratitude and thanks goes out to Matt for his sincere dedication to the fulfillment of another's dream, a dream that's existed for more years than I can remember.
