Cowdens Sept of Colquhoun/MacDougal?
Good morning all. While I'm Campbell of Cawdor through my male line I've been doing some reading as my maternal grandmother was a Cowden. I ran across an old website, which I realize may or may not be legitimate, citing Robert Bain's The Clans and Tartans of Scotland that Cowdens were septs of Colquhoun and MacDougal. I've also seen discussion in more than one place that Cowdens traditionally wore the Jacobite tartan from the Edinburgh area.
Our history on that branch of the family is pretty limited, and while I'll mostly be wearing the tartan that comes with my own last name it would be nice to wear a tartan tie or scarf or the like on occasion in memory of my Grandmother. To do that properly of course I'd need to wear the correct one. If anybody has good information on this I'd welcome the chance to learn a bit more.
