Kiltmaker Suggestion

[Steeplechase]

When ever you get the Robinson kilt please post a photo. As a fellow Robinson I have given some thought to our tartan as well.

All of the suggestions listed so far are on the spot.

While there are quite a few clans who claim that many unlikely surnames are their septs, the Gunn clan is probably the worst. If your name is Robinson, chances are far, far more likely than not that your ancestors had nothing to do with the Gunn clan. In fact, it's likely they were English rather than Scots. See http://www.nationaltrustnames.org.uk and do a search for Robinson in 1881. The Gunns were from Caithness in the northeasten corner of Scotland. There were very few Robinsons north of the Border.

The Robinson tartans are indeed attractive. Evidently they were both designed by Pendleton Mills. See http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/n...ote=1&p=439194

and

I'll second Riverkilt on Kathy Lare!!!

She set me up with my 8yd Gordon Dress and her work is perfect! The women in my family are very discriminating on how pleats are done and I still hear how the pleats are the most perfect pleats they've seen!
