Clan for "Alvis"?

Just out of curiosity why didn't you go with Clan Arthur (MacArthur)? They have a chief and a tartan. And Loch Awe is beautiful.

Only because I have been unable to trace the line out of Canada. I do like the MacArthur tartan, very much like the colors of my Green Bay Packers. When I'm able to trace the line to the highlands, I will get my first tank in MacArthur.

Tartan has never been solely about names or families. Tartan tells the world - "Who am I, Where do I come from, and how did I get here."

The original Tartans were about place. We call these regional Tartans today.

And there are now Tartans for everything under the sun.

Do you have an affiliation with a place? A country or State Tartan may suit you. Many cities have Tartans.

Do you have an affiliation with a club or organization? Safeway, the grocery store chain has a Tartan as does UPS the courier service. (yes, it's brown) There is a Model "T" Ford Tartan and a Harley Davidson Tartan.

This forum has its own Tartan. As a member here, you are fully authorized to wear the X Marks Tartan. You can see it as the wallpaper to this site.

There are about 12,000 Tartans listed today and more being designed every day.
