I just thought there would be some sort of approval process, or something. By whom, I'm not really sure. I know it it outside Lord Lyon's jurisdiction. But I figured I would have to "request" it.

I could design one easy enough, but I remember Matt making a comment once at the museum that it was sad more groups didn't choose more historic tartans.

I was planning to do a unique "variation" of some tartan that the family married early in South Carolina (pre-1800) or Georgia (early 1800s).

BUT, first, I decided to see what was "available" that was also historic, particularly a Wilson's one from the early 1800s. As a history buff (a trained one at that), I thought that would be "extra cool factor." I saw this one and just liked it. Yet, I was unsure of the actual colors. So, I figured one of the numerous members of the STA could look it up and tell me the "official" colors (which are blocked from non-members).
