Time to introduce myself - I was browsing E-bay earlier, did a google search on blue tartans, and somewhere along the line this forum popped up. ;)

I'm a semi-retired piper; I used to pipe for my school (as did my younger brother) where we wore the Graham of Montrose tartan. Here's a piccie for all of you.



I've been out of tartan for nearly 10 years now, excluding a Gordon kilt I wore to a friend's wedding in 2003. Ancestrally, I'm supposedly a Shaw, at least if my dad is to be believed ;)

I've finally decided to come out of the woodwork and get myself a kilt to wear when piping or going to formal events, and am trying to decide between wearing the Graham of Montrose tartan again, getting a modern Shaw (though I don't like the red weave), or the (very gorgeous, in my opinion) Pride of Scotland / Heritage of Scotland tartan.

Anyway, great site, and a thumbs up for all of you
