Cameron Tartan

[eagle43172]

Although my Scottish ancestors came to the "colonies" in the early 1700's they came as Chambers (and supporters of good King William) and I have found no reference to Cameron family connection, the lists say I'm a Clan Cameron member and so if my chief has an opinion I will respect it.

I've worn a Cameron of Eracht tank for close to 35 years, and if I can convince the wife I'll have a Hunting Cameron (Ancient) before the end of next year. While the geneological aspects of clan stuff I'll take or leave, sometimes it's best to follow the unwriten "rules" to be safe. Besides the referenced tartans I really like.

I'm suprised that no one has made a Kilt Kops reference decrying the "you shouldn't wear this, can't wear that" aspect of the thread. Not that I disagree, I feel that you look better if you follow established pattern and not jump on the free spirit bandwagon. And I believe that a kilted man looks best in proper Scottish attire, properly worn. But that is just my opinion, just wonder why no one had mentioned it.

Anyway, I'll never change the world so I'll say Merry Christmas to all the Rabble and have a Happy New Year.

Best of luck, I look forward to seeing you sporting your new kilt

Though not a Cameron myself, I've always had a fond spot in my heart for the Cameron clan. Not only is a good friend of mine the commissioner for Clan Cameron up north here, but they share more than a bit of history with my own Macdonells of Keppoch, including the Battle of Mulroy (4th August 1688) where the Camerons (of Glen Nevis) joined my Keppoch kinfolk in victory over the Mackintoshes (and their followers the MacGillivrays) who, with government backing, were given a commission of fire and sword by the Privy Council against Macdonell of Keppoch. Fun stuff!

And to you & yours "Nollaig chridheil huibh!"

Us Macphersons think very highly of the Camerons as well. Though there have been several feuds and a few skirmishes between the Camerons and Macphersons (mainly over land disputes in lower Badenoch towards Lochaber), we have definitely formed a unique friendship and bond throughout the past several centuries - especially during the Jacobite uprisings of the 18th-century. Lochiel and Cluny have formed a rather 'tight-knit' union.

Cheers,
