Scottish Wildcat pin?

[Alan H]

Wow! I'm shocked by that behavior. It's such a beautiful tartan and such a great cause. I don't know about the Clan Chattan conveners, but I am aware that Clan Mackintosh has lost a lot of conveners over the last few years for various reasons and the clan is currently not represented in 20 U.S. states. So perhaps out of desperation, they're are just grateful for anyone who volunteers to set up the booth and some of those people may know very little about the plight of the wildcats. On the Clan Mackintosh of North America Facebook page, the Scottish Wildcat is discussed frequently and there are a lot of clan members who care deeply about the wildcat. I would hope that those clan members would show more interest in the tartan but I could be wrong. I'll see what I can do to drum up more interest among the clan members.

Well, to their credit, our local Nor Cal MacKintosh conveners have been great about it. Also, the woman in that couple offered an explanation for the Nor Cal Clans Chattan ladies that very much echoes what you just wrote.
