Tartan Police!

[prattw]

Will, very interesting -- the Piper to the Grant Chief you mentioned was one William Cumming. The Cummings and the Grants were "neighbours" and at one point adversaries (Lord Strathspey still has a skull of the one of the Cumming Chiefs as a trophy at Castle Grant) before serving as pipers. I'd like to see the "Grant Piper" tartan.

Cheers,

Todd

Todd,

Greetings, Kinsman.

You can find Grant Champion on the House of Tartan tartan finder, here: http://www.house-of-tartan.scotland....se/tfinder.htp

I've only seen Grant Piper once and haven't been able to relocate it. It differs only in relative widths of the bands, and is called "Piper" only because it came from that portrait. The important fact here is that they seemingly weren't too "high church" about exact thread counts then.

I tried to paste Grant Champion here, but it isna' workin'. Just go to the House of Tartan website and use the alphabetical list.
