Ponderings of an ancient Scot.

[Ancienne Alliance]

Very well, I am French. Traditionally, The Culloden Tartan is associated to the French for they were present in this battle as allies. So is Black Stuart for the same reason.

I do have a Culloden Tartan kilt and my dear wife and daughters wear the Black Stuart. Fine !
Having Breton and Norman blood (lots of it!) I could wear one of these tartans.

So I could leave it to my Scottish neighbours to wear the clan tartan to which I am linked , not wear them any more and concentrate on the “French” ones.

But I will never do that . Never.

Why ?

Because I wear my clan tartan partly as a therapy to solve the problems I have with my dad, and similar other personal reasons I will not disclose in public. My family story (and heritage) carries a lot of sorrow.

Stopping this healing process by not wearing my family tartan would simply put an end to my kilt wearing all together, amongst other things.

Now I wouldn't want to deprive you of all these lovely kilted photos some of you seem to appreciate...


Best,

Robert
