I wish I was Welsh

Yes...Wales does rule :-) But I am partial cause I have a Welsh family line as well. I agree with you on the Tartan with the Dragon on it. I am saving up for it as we speak.

You might have seen it already, but just in case, check out www.welsh-tartan.com. Lots of cool stuff on there.

I have the St. David's tartan kilt (Brithwe Dewi Sant), complete with a dragon pin, in my Kollection:



but I think I draw the line at the ysgrepan, which looks as if it needs a haircut - the Freelander looks so much neater!

Ok, now I am confused. I like this kilt very much but is it really a tartan? The verticle stripes are not the same as the horizontal.

Many Welsh tartans do not have the same thread count in the warp and weft. (ie: the lines are different vertical than they are horizontal).

Me too Ham - they look far too shaggy for my taste.

The Welsh Tartan Centre had a stand at the Royal Welsh Show in July and the chappie manning it was sporting a St Davids Tartan Cilt and a Ysgrepan.

I asked him out of curiousity if I could have a peek inside it and he duly obliged. It has a similar storage capacity to the Sporran but I just couldn't find it aesthetically pleasing and told him I still preferred my sporran (which I was of course wearing with my kilt). I think he was pleased though to see someone else actually in a kilt though.

They do offer a sporran with the Welsh Dragon embossed on it, however, and I might be tempted at some stage to obtain one, preferably along with my first Welsh Tartan Cilt!

This is the sporran I got to go with my Welsh Edwards cilt:

And very nice it is too!

Or as we would say in Welsh - Ardderchog

Hi McClef ... We too were at The Royal Welsh. What day did you go. We went on the Tues and apart from the guy at The Welsh Tartan Centre stand and myself, I saw no other Cilts that day. Did you see any other Cilts/kilts when you were there. Where abouts in South Wales are you by the way. Here's a couple of pics from the day that I posted back then.
We gate crashed a members only tent for some beers .. no one was there to stop us .. we got served straight away ... later though it took us flipping ages to get served at one of the main bars.


And of course The Welsh Tartan Centre stand

I do have a family line into Wales, it ties in downstream to my family line into Scotland. Family name was Kendricks. Orginally thought it was a sept of the McNaughton Clan until further research had that branch going into Wales.

Just another tartan or two to look into.
