    A Father's Day Quandry...

    My wife asked me this afternoon if I had any ideas of what I wanted for Father's Day/ 17 year wedding anniversary (it's almost always a couple days apart). I responded that I wanted a sgian duhb. I had shown her a couple I liked. I really wanted a simple one with the clan crest on the handle. She asked if I wanted my clan (Gordon) or if she could get me one in her clan (McIntyre). I told her as long as it also came with a case of Guinness, I'd be a happy dad that day.

    So, is there any hardfast rule about mixing my clans? Just curious....

    By marrying her you've already mixed the clans. Wearing their crest can symbolize allegiance to their chief, but I doubt anyone would ever try to hold you to it.

    I don't see why it would be a problem mixing clan attire like that. I say wear it proudly!

    Congratulations on your anniversary.
    I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

    The Kilt Police say it is lawful to wear anything in your clan's tartan and accessories. So, unless you see the KP, wear what you want!
