Point of clarification, though, Rob: not all clan tartans have a "weak basis" as you state. Many clan tartans have regimental ties, such as the Gordons, Mackenzies and Camerons, just to name a few, and others have adopted district tartans from the clan's traditional areas, and vice-versa. The version of my clan's tartan that I wear, for example, is also the district tartan for Buchan, which was historically a Comyn/Cumming stronghold.

I ain't touching this argument with a 20 foot pole, especially between you 2.

Clan tartans come from a WIDE range of sources. Some "it sounds nice" to miltary adopted ones adopted by the clans to "symbolic colors and patterns." PLUS everywhere in between.

Moderators, report to MAC Newsome . . . :rolleyes:

Tartan itself to me is facinating. I need to join STA, just to free up the dues money and convince Anna, my wife, it isn't a waste. :confused:
