Hi ya'll. I just came from the Scottish festival in Arlington, Texas and was told of your site while attending. My Beck surname is listed in some sources as a clan with a Beck tartan (STA #3819). I would like to have a kilt, etc. made with this tartan but only if the information is accurate. I got most of this information from Scotweb.com.uk. but a few books did give some obscure references to the 14th century clan but no details. I would appreciate any thoughts from any of you to help ease my mind before I make the leap. Does having an assigned STA number mean the existence of the clan and if so, how does one find the proper clan with which to associate? How "official" is the STA designation? Also, can anyone vouch for the Scotweb company? Mail order custom clothing worries me. Thanks for your help and sorry for the length of the posting.
