Would YOU wear another "clan's" tartan?

[fluter]

I wonder how far back those who selected options 2 and 3 go with their family ties before deciding that it is far too distant

In my case about 5. But if I should find a MacLeod or MacDonald in the 6th generation, that may be revised. Interestingly enough, the 5th-generation line is the one about which I have the most genealogical info right back to the banks of Loch Lomond by way of the Great Waggon Road.

The tartan with which I grew up, my mother's surname, is the one with the shortest documented line. Her grandmother's name, we get as far as Co. Antrim --- or at least we know there was a sister left behind there --- but haven't really got much across the water, let alone the final jump to Scotland.
