Mackenzie Tartan
The Mackenzie Tartan is NOT a "ladies tartan" (save maybe the "Ladies from Hell"!) -- The Mackenzie was used by two Scottish Regiments, the Old Seaforth Highlanders, amalgamated with the Camerons in 1961 to form the Queens Own Highlanders, and again in 1994 with the Gordons to form the Highlanders, as well as the Highland Light Infantry, who merged with the Royal Scots Fusiliers in the 60's to form the Royal Highland Fusiliers. The Seaforths of Canada also wear the Tartan, which is very appropriate, since Alexander Mackenzie was the first European to reach the Pacific in BC in 1793!
Cheers!
