To Black Watch or not to Black Watch?

[Geoff Withnell]

Get away with it? Sure, lots of people do! we had a ren-faire kit discussion here;

As long as you don't mistake the "renaissance faire" for a "period correct renaissance era re-enactment" you may 'get away' with a tailored kilt and lots of other 'anachronistic' things as part of your costume.
Same applies to the Black Watch/Campbell/Grant Hunting/gov't sett tartan, it may not have been around in that time period, but you certainly see it often enough at faires. Have fun!

Black Watch at a Ren Fair? Heck, I've seen Isle of Skye, Albbanach, Leatherneck and a slew of other late 20th/early21st century tartans at Ren Fairs. What with fairies, harem girls and what not, an out of period tartan is unlikely to be noticed.

Hmmmm, to jump off topic here, if a group of crows is a murder, and group of sheep is a flock, what is a group of tartans?

Uhh...a "tattle" of tartans? Just took a stab at it, but might be fun to come up with something there...

1 tartan is called a single malt.

A group of tartans are called a blended malt.
