As far as I'm aware - being fundamentalist Catholics they would have opposed anything non-Catholic i.e. the Scottish Campbells!

If you do a little digging in the family "potato patch" I think you'll discover that your Irish Campbells originated in Scotland...

For what vegetable or garden item is Scotland known?

I know... it's just I know that my ancestors were in Ireland at the time.

I voted clan tartan simply because of the nature of the event. For the rest of the gathering, I think you should wear whichever you like.

They said they granted rights to a couple of makers in the USA to request mills to make the tartan - however as far as they know from contacting the mill there's been no sales ith that tartan...

This is it:

You mean, like this one?

I believe it was made in the UK, but sold through Rocky at USA Kilts. Surplus tartan, I think it was. No telling where all of it went.

Aparently if it was made in Scotland it would have had to have been in 2 places - and if you bought it before 2007 according to John Paul at ScottishTartanStore it would be made by ScottishTartanStore.
I dont see what he'd get from lying... although he did prove that they had designed it

Commissioned this year. Here's the thread where it was announced that it was available, and here's my review of it when it arrived.

I think it's an attractive tartan. I wore it this weekend to an outdoor concert, in fact (in unseasonably cold summer temperatures). You'll look great in yours. Be sure to post pics?

Regards,
Rex.

From the list of tartans it seems as though USA kilts was the middleman for ScottishTartanStore... especially since Auld Lang Syne Grey is there too.
Is there a stamp on the buckles atall?

**Rex_Tremende** · 20th July 09, 05:33 PM

None that I can detect.

I'm still waiting for someone to show me where that rule is.
I am personal friends with James McBain of MacBain and he wears both his clan tartan, and the Austin-Keith....and he is the Chief of MacBain. (Standing Council)
