Was researching info on the Gillis family, my great great grandmother was Mary Gillis who was born in Nova Scotia in the 1830s.

I knew Gillis was a derivation of the Gillies clan, but I'd never realized that the Gillies were a sept of the MacPherson clan...

I once dated a MacPherson lass in college...but one night on a double date with a fraternity brother and his girlfriend both couples became angry with their mate and we switched dates. My fraternity brother and the MacPherson lass wound up getting married...and still were last I heard.

Anyhow...now it looks like I'm gonna be needing a kilt in the MacPherson tartan since the only Gillis tartan was computer designed and to my knowledge has never been woven. And yes, I know there are a bunch of Gillies tartans...just have to pick my favorite from them and the MacPherson tartans. I suspect the later will be easier to find in a casual tartan kilt.

Another door to my wallet opens...
