Ponderings of an ancient Scot.

[macwilkin]

I know I should have the reference at hand, but alas at the moment I do not, but what about St Patrick's Blue? (note the interogative) I have found several references to this color in some of the reading I have done. I have even looked at trying to find one to add to my solid green and saffron. In another thread someone pointed out a pipe band in New York (Long Island?) that wore St Patrick's blue kilts up until the early 2000's before switching.

Interesting info here.

The Sword of Light Pipe Band of the IBEW (my dad's union) wore a light blue kilt, as does the Dublin City Fire Brigade Pipe Band.

Saint Patrick's Blue is the traditional colour of hackles worn by the Irish Guards.
