Congratulations on the registration of your new tartan, Rocky.... http://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/tar...aspx?ref=10139
LOL at the description. But it's a nice looking tartan! Too bad it's restricted.
I JUST got the email notice on this tartan this morning--had a chuckle at the description. Not a bad tartan--an alternative to Black Stewart I think?????

BUT By their own admission they are a group of friends more than relations and no one in the group is called MacEvil. The 'Chief' of Clan MacEvil is Joel Noecker. All that having been said, I wonder what the Keeper of the Scottish Register of Tartans was thinking about, when he allowed this name and just what names are unacceptable. The following is taken from the Scottish Register of Tartans Guidance Document: Registration Criteria Anyone can apply to register a tartan in the Register. The full text concerning registration can be read in the Scottish Register of Tartans Act 2008 Sections 6, 7, 8 and 9, available online at http://www.opsi.gov.uk/legislation/scotland/acts2008/pdf/asp_20080007_en.pdf. We would strongly advise you to submit your tartan for registration before having it woven to check that it meets the criteria for registration. The criteria for registration are: that the tartan meets the definition contained in the Act and is sufficiently different to all other tartans already recorded in the Registerthat the name of the tartan is acceptable.To register a tartan you will need to have registered an account in the Register. You must then complete the Tartan Registration form available on the website. Regards Chas

I dunno.. Mac maybe? Or Mac%@$#!& Why do you think that MacEvil might not be acceptable? I imagine that the rule you quoted is intended to keep out tartan names that might be racist, sexist, somehow offensive... Is MacEvil offensive?
