Hey Cousin,

My great great grandmother was Mary Gillis of Skye Glen, Nova Scotia. Have some wonderful descriptions of her from my grandfather. Want to get a Gillis tartan kilt in her honor some day.

I'm working with Kathy Lare of Kathy's kilts. She can find most anything. Deal is that I had to finally accept that Gillis is just a variation of Gillies and that the Gillis tartan is the same as the Gillies tartan(s).

I think I'll wait until I am "blootered" before I try to read any more of this thread. Might make more sense then!

Not about kilts - but a fun read.
