What is his last name? There may be a tartan connection as a District Tartan, and there are even recommended tartans for non-Scots as well. I would be happy to check my coppy of "Tartan for Me!" to see what I could find out.

Some good general tartans are:

Stewart Hunting
Caledonia
Scottish National
Flower o' Scotland
US St. Andrews

Cheers,

T.
