My maternal grandparents came to Massachusetts from Nova Scotia. I like the Nova Scotia Province tartan very much, it has very attractive shades of blue. HOWEVER, I think I shall be ordering a Mapleleaf kilt instead and I can still honor my grandparents, after all, Nova Scotia is a part of Canada. The fall colors in the Mapleleaf remind me so much of my home in Massachusetts as well as my home in northern New Hampshire. The maple trees turn such beautiful shades of red and gold in the fall. And I miss seeing them now that I live here in San Francisco.
