Wearing the Family Tartan

[Dirk Skene]

You can wear anything you want. You don't need premission. I have 17 kilts. Only 1 is my family tartan. The problem may come if the pattern is rare. The price will go up.

this is going to sound really really strange, but your picture...

your eyes and smile look a lot like my mothers'... could be a coincedence, but i'm curious... how far back have you (if at all) researched your family tree?

i'm going to have to pester my uncle (George) as if i recall, when my grandmother passed, i think he nabbed the family tree (it was yellowing with age and it was a huge roll of paper almost the size of a table, i'd love to get ahold of that, if not just to scan it. going to have to get his email)

it's good to know that i don't need to clear it or ask permission to wear the family tartan. also, it's neat to see a picture of the clan Chief.)

i think i'm going to see if i can attend a highland gathering/games event sometime if i can!

still, i have to admit, the research i'm doing is difficult... i never knew my grandfather on my mothers side though i have been told i resemble him... oddly, the only picture i remember is a fading memory of an old photograph and i do not know his name, either.
