Which tartan for Buie (Bowie)?

[ShaunMaxwell]

Thanks, Matt and everyone else.

I'm certain that my Buie relations came from Jura, so it sounds as if MacDonald would be appropriate.

Given that, which of the MANY MacDonald tartans? Is there one particularly associated with Jura (MacDonald of the Isles, perhaps)? Or would I be better off just sticking with a more general MacDonald tartan?

I like the look of MacDonald Isles Hunting Ancient from Marton Mills...

When all else fails, the standard clan tartan in the modern colors is the way to go. The general MacDonald clan tartan is the tartan for the entire clan, regardless of where you are from or which branch you may belong to, and is never "incorrect" for any MacDonald to wear. Of course you could wear this tartan in various color schemes, as well.

That being said, if you wanted to wear the MacDonald of the Isles Hunting, ancient colors, I'm sure no one would mind. :-)
