Here is a pic I took at the raising of the largest Confederate Battle flag 30' x 50'



The pole stands 139', this was on flag day.


Today for July fourth, we raised at 7:00 am a 30' x 20' Betsy Ross Flag



This is the future site for a civil war memorial

Here's a source for that Yankee Memorial Tartan:

More often than not, if a tartan is available it can be had through The Scotweb Kilt Store, the banner link at the top right of the page you're looking at this very instant.

Here's the only photograph I could find of me wearing the CSA tartan kilt. I'll search a bit more to see if'n I have a better one.

Unless this is a new and different tartan, the Confederate Memorial tartan was designed by Dr. Phillip D. Smith in 1995. He also designed the Federal Memorial tartan.

Also, according to the STA information, D. C. Dalgleish in Selkirk have the exclusive rights to weave the Confederate Memorial tartan in wool.

Firstly, I'm removing my "Moderator Hat" for this thread. If anyone is unsure what that means, please see this recent thread posted by Panache.

In light of recent discussions, regarding the Gold Brothers and copyright infringements with the Isle of Skye tartan I find this to come at an interesting time. The mention of an American company, producing that same tartan (whether under a different name or not is irrelevant as the design is the same) has been eluded to. There's no need for me to be vague. That North American company was/is Frugal Corner.

Now, just to be up front, I do not like their practices in the past, and I have no respect for them because of it. I've made no secret of that. However, this post is NOT to "sling mud."

I would like to ask Shriner: do you know whether or not Frugal Corner has obtained the appropriate permissions and/or paid any possible fees in order to weave this cloth? I'm not sure what those fees may be. But, if Daghlish has the exclusive rights for wool, that tells me there are rights to be had and this is probably a copyrighted design. I ask you, Shriner, since you brought their weaving of this to light. You've also made it clear, in other posts, that you are friends with them and have sold their wears at Highland Games. So, this is why I ask you. I also suspect they're doing it in acrylic? I won't veer off into my thoughts on that, as it's not the point.

I think it is a perfectly logical and justified question to ask, as they have made very clear in the past that they have no qualms with producing a copyrighted tartan without paying royalties and/or obtaining permissions. So, I feel it is a more than fair query to ask of in regards to this tartan.

Again, my moderator hat is off on this one. I will in no way be moderating this thread at this point. I'm here to participate as a member only.

Tattoo Bradley,

The Sons of Confederste Veterans, the group that own all rights to that tartan came to Frugal Corner to have them produce it in affordable material. I am a Florida camp member and will be attending the Annual Reunion in Charlotte NC mid month. Hopefully wearing my new kilt.

I hope that answers your questions, Frugal Corner has been great to me and the groups I am involved with. I have sold 125 New World Celt kilts, 50 Masonic kilts and look forward to the Confederate tartan. They have a nice store front and Mark Wright is full time at the store.
