    Thanks, Carlo. I'd looked for Ushant and Ouessant, but never would have thought to look for Eusa as a tartan name. It has an interesting story behind it. I searched tartan-related sites but didn't go farther, so I hadn't seen the piece at your link. Cool!

    Both the STA and the Scottish Register have it. One just needs to know where to look.

    I searched for "Ushant tartan" and the BBC link was the first result. (Now it's this thread)
    Another example of how google limits our horizon .
