    My clan tartan kilts (McIntosh) are by far the most important to me. It doesn't matter to me what my clan tartan looks like; if my clan tartan was pink and puce I'd still wear it proudly.
    I also wear Hunting Stewart because I wore that in the reserves, and I have a 4 yarder in the British Columbia tartan (which is not a particularly attractive tartan to most people) because that's where I was born and live.

    As a future resident of BC do you have a picture of this kilt? I've seen the tartan pattern - just never actually made into a kilt.

    Our entire pipe band, though from Southern California, went with the BC tartan back in the mid-1980's. It's colours were very popular back then, the teal and cherry red!



    Anyhow, what tartan should I wear? Hmmm...my grandmother was a Cooper...my father's side was supposedly from the Isle of Arran/Kintyre area...my mother's side was from County Cavan...my last name is Cook...we're from West Virginia...so I guess:
    Arran
    MacDonald of the Isles
    Cavan
    Cooper
    Cook
    West Virginia


    But my favourite tartans are ones like these:
