That's good to hear about. I'm wondering in we Veatch (Veitch) descendants can point to any official closure to the ancient feud with the Tweedies. Although it was not clan connected, this Borders family feud was a long and bitter one by all accounts. It would be nice to know how it was finally put to rest.
The Keith tartan is another handsome one and it's always good to know where the next jones is coming from, isn't it...
