The Royal Mile

[Lallans]

No 20 year old worth his salt should conform to anything much, that is true. Many, too many, years ago I well remember causing consternation amongst the senior members of my family by moving my kilt pin from the "mid thigh position" on the kilt, to the lower corner.I still wear it there today, some 50 years later.

What, if any, is the significance of the Rainbow tartan? I seem to have missed something here.

Googling 'rainbow tartan' yields a thread from this site circa 2006, and that seems to be about the only meaningful reference to the subject. Someone posted they'd found info saying it's "A bright and colourful design which has been adopted by the Gay community in Los Angeles." Then the thread got locked pretty quickly and without any more concrete information being brought forward.

Yes, the thread would be locked -- most likely not because of any ulterior motive, but because the forum started locking old threads to prevent them from zombifying years later.

Sadly I think it was locked, IRC ( by MIKE1 ) there was a lot of negative feeling from a few members about the fact that there was a Gay tartan.....
