phil h,

"Thistle Dubh" will mean "Black Thistle". After all "Sgian Dubh" means "Black Knife" 8)

Kilts such as the Black Watch, Scottish National, Flower of Scotland Royal Stewart, Thistle Dubh/Black Thistle, Scottish American and Irish American are all generic. The latter two are very nice indeed.

There is also an American National tartan, but this is extremely difficult to source and when it is made up by the mills, it's not of good quality.

All those prices above quoted for registering a tartan and having a kilt made-up are quite expensive! I don't want to steal anyone's thunder, but ScottishKilts.net's maximum price for registering the tartan (with the Tartan Registry) and having a full weight kilt made-up in it is £650 (approx. $1150USD). Even less if you design the tartan yourself and even less if you make the kilt up yourself. Minimum cost is £350.
