1. Roxburgh Red (Ancient)
2. MacArthur (Ancient)
3. Buchanan (you guessed it, Ancient colors here, too)
I started with a Roxburgh Red tank in honor of the birthplace of an immigrant ancestor on my mother's side. He was a Veatch (Veitch) and the family originally had a holding in Dawyck near Peebles and a very long running feud with the Tweedy family. The Veitches were eventually dispossesed with my ancestor's line landing in Roxburgh.
From my father's side, our surname, Carter is a variant of MacArthur and I have an Ancient MacArthur tank in the works... (I'm told the cloth is on its way).
My third Scottish line comes via my mother's dad... his grandmother was born in Edinburgh and was a MacIndoe. An old family bible entry had "Buchanan Clan" scrawled next to her name... and that agrees with a number of lists that show MacIndoe as a Buchanan sept. I'll be asking about that at the Buchanan tent at the upcoming games here... I'd like to add a Buchanan ancient to my "arsenal" as well.
