Cameron of Erracht appropriateness

Thanks Mike, although I think the general consensus from the clan is to let sleeping dogs lie. No one will take offence, not even Lochiel if anyone turns up to a Cameron get together in a COE tartan.

Turning up in the Lochiels family tartan, now that is a different matter entirely.

I have seen Lochiel wear a pair of trews of Cameron of Erracht tartan on more than one occasion.

Trews Jock TREWS? Whatever is the world coming too?

you will be telling me next that we have lost the Colonies.

You have obviously not met the Achnacarry midge!---------------------and its, er well, numerous cousins!

Luckily not. I always time my visits at low midge season. Although last time I was up was late August and didn't come across one. Guess I was very lucky.

Thinking about this, whilst my temperature is somewhere near normal, I have flu at present, as Lochiel served in the Camerons( if my memory serves correctly) so wearing the Cameron of Erracht tartan would be a natural choice for him, so he just might take a dim view of someone who did not serve in the Regiment wearing the tartan? I know not.

I don't think so Jock, Lochiel was present when McLean of Dochgarroch stated that it was acceptable to wear Cameron of Erracht and also Duncan Cameron, Clan Cameron commissioner wears it without reproach. However what is in Lochiels mind we will never know unless he makes a contradictory statement.

Perhaps, if the opportunity arises at your next shoot, you might pose the question. If you do I will make sure the Test is full of salmon for your next visit.
