At a Scottish Country Dance on Saturday I asked the fellow in the set next to me what the handsome tartan was that he was wearing.

He replied

"A blue and gold one"

I laughed and then he continued with "I think it is an Irish district tartan"

As an Scottish Country dancer he needed a kilt and he picked a tartan he liked.

It was as simple as that

And you know what?

I am totally OK with that. Tartan can have all sorts of meaning.

But it can also just be beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

Didn't someone once say that "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar"



Cheers
