Wolfpiper:

Your best bet would be to contact our own Matt Newsome, who is the curator of the Scottish Tartans Museum in Franklin, North Carolina. His user ID here is "M.A.C. Newsome". Looking up tartans associated with a particular surname is what he does for a living! :mrgreen:

Matt's web sites are:

www.scottishtartans.org
www.albanach.org

You might also try:

www.tartansauthority.com

and the tartan finder on the Standing Council of Scottish Chief's web site:

http://www.clanchiefs.org/tartanfinder.html

Yours aye,

Todd

While I realise that I can probably wear almost any tartan, and my band uses a particular tartan, I want to find one that is meaningful to me individually.
