Well, I was going to suggest that Nova Scotia might be appropriate because that's where the cajuns/acadians started out but it seems like the British were the ones who forced them out so it might certainly be a beaucoup faux pas to call any attention to that unfortunate event.

Not at all, AA -- Cajuns do remember Le Grand Derengement of 1755, but they don't tend to dwell on it. My wife and MIL both wore the Nova Scotia tartan before I bought Louisiana tartan sashes for them this Christmas.

In fact, Page's grandmother used to tease me about being Scottish and "my ancestors kicking out her ancestors", but I gently reminded her that my ancestors were kicked out of Scotland and then kicked out of America (for being Loyalists).

Remember that much of the Scots immigration to NS started after 1755; it was mostly transplanted New Englanders that were responsible for the deportation.

btw, my MIL's madien name, Melancon, is orginally believed to be Scottish or Northern English in origin; the Melansons intermarried with the Acadians after the Scottish colony of Sir William Alexander was transferred to the French.

Todd,
You just answered a question I've had for quite some time. As a former resident of the Pelican state, grad of LSU, and married to a gal from New Orleans, I thought that there must be a tartan related to LA but had never found one. Why didn't I just ask Matt?

Looks like there will be a new kilt at the top of the wish list!

By the way, I started celebrating this morning with a big plate of Boudin and scrambled eggs. Lunch will be chicken and sausage gumbo, and Dinner will be fried catfish po-boys! If only I had a six-pack Dixie longnecks!

Bill in NC, but still missing the south Louisiana lifestyle.

Bill: the St. Andrew's Society of Baton Rouge sells the La. tartan:

May have to stop by the liquor store and pick up some Blackened Vodoo Lager from Dixie -- or Abita!

Cheers,

Todd
