Oh well...horses for courses.

I can see how the tartan would celebrate where they came from. Not sure how it pays tribute to what they did while they were here. The only way that I see to do that (with a kilt) would be to wear a tartan that honors their contributions, like the law enforcement or firefighter tartans.
