Welcome aboard!

And, its MacWal

By the way, what is your surname (or its heritage, if not want to give it)?

Mine (Wages) seems to be made up and is from either Scottish or German roots (my cousins and I are researching both sides). Yet, they married Scots and and more Scots. My grandmother's family was ALL German. So, I'm about 1/4 German and almost 3/4 Scot (but actual last name is unknown)!

My cousins are almost EACH called "Wage" by their friends. With my Scottish interest, I got termed "MacWage." As my father is called "Wage" by his cousins, I really AM MacWage ("son of Wage")!

If you hang out here, you'll see folks of many origins, many of non-Scot. There are national tartans, district tartans, and "general" tartans that are open, regardless of family roots. Also, many pick tartans that they like, or because a friend/hero is of that family. The KEY is to KNOW what it IS and to BE ABLE to SAY something intelligable about it. Meanwhile, others are sticklers and will say "person A can ONLY wear kilts A, C, and Q."

Enjoy it here!!!
