    I have had to think about this and if it were me, I would not mix the tartans. Generally speaking, mixing tartans of different clans is "bad form". In your case, the sept has its own tartan and as such, should not be mixed with others, however close they may be.

    You might want to read this statement from the Clan Crawford Association's web site:

    Unfortunately this has led to the recent misunderstanding (primarily in the Southeastern US) that the Crawford surname is a sept of Clan Lindsay, which according to the Lyon Court is inherently inappropriate, in stark disagreement with the more accurate and appropriate Clan Lindsay International and Clan Lindsay Australia who acknowledge merely an ally relationship. Regardless of competing unsupported claims, the Lyon Court recognizes the Crawford surname as an independent armigerous House with a Senior Line (unofficial Chiefs) having for centuries registered Arms showing no differencing [except internal to cadets of the House and an honorary augmentation] or allegiance to another clan, house, or surname, this being the ultimate legal test of independence (not a sept). Nevertheless, we do appreciate a fellowship of parity from any clan or association.

    I have a brother who's quite musical. As kids, I knew I could wake him up from a sound sleep if I only played half a scale on the piano.

    Thank you. I had no idea we had our own Association - for years I have been told about the sept business. Wonder how that got started?
