Kilts, The Wise Financial Choice

[Archangel]

all right, rant over..........

yeah, what was that all about anyway?

[macwilkin]

Could the confusion come from the wrap-around kilt aprons like on the cover of Osprey's Scottish Units? I believe the London Scottish marching postcard shows a similar full apron cover.

The Ghurkas were attached to Scottish units in WW1, my grand-dad's for example. Tartan patch probably came from that. (My guess.)

Several of the Gurkha regiments have actually adopted tartan for pipe bags, plaids, etc. -- the 10th Princess Mary's Gurkhas wore Stewart Hunting, and the modern Royal Gurkha Rifles wear the Douglas tartan. Most of this was due to regimental associations; the 2nd Gurkhas, for instance, maintained an association with the Gordons, since both served on the Northwest Frontier and fought at the Battle of Daragai where Piper Findlater won the VC.

This web site contains a detailed list of regimental tartans:

Too funny
My O.H.'s brother is a cowboy and we have joked with each other about sheep for a very long time. We even exchange humorous sheep related gifts at Christmas and we'll start argueing over who has claim to which field of sheep just to mess with those not in on the running joke.

Now I can tell him why my kilt is so much better than his jeans! 8-)
