If you've ever read the history of the MacGregor clan, you'd know that we were once not accepted anywhere in society at all.. it was a crime punishable by death simply to claim the MacGregor name.

I respect all humans.. and would hope that they return that respect
I am English, have no known Scottish ancestry (haven't looked) love all the countries that make up the UK. I have many personal ties with Scotland and always wear my kilt with pride. There are those who say you should know the history of any tatan you wear.

I have just bought some 16oz MacGregor tartan from Fraser and Kirkbright. It was a remnant, I liked the look of it and could afford it. My generation were all taught about Rob Roy as if he was a Scottish Robin Hood, from what you say he wasn't thought of as a Robin Hood at the time.

Knowing more of the MacGregor history would not make me any more proud to wear a MacGregor kilt. Reading how you, a MacGregor of today, think of all other people on this planet, WILL make me a little more proud to wear your tartan.

Respect
