    The corallary to Barb's comment is that the Antarctic tartan is more unusual than the Isle of Sky, ergo more appealing to we jaded kilties. IOS is a really lovely tartan, but so many X Markers have it, that it has almost become the "X Marks the Scot Hunting Tartan".

    Cheers

    Precisely Barb - people were voting on a little electronic swatch rather than from their own personal knowledge.

    And the proof of the pudding is surely in seeing it in reality. No swatch can compare with seeing it as a real kilt!

    If anyone actually has a kilt in this tartan we want pics!
