That's pretty cool. Honestly, the Leatherneck is one of the few tartans I myself would recognize...that and Navy Edzell, of course. Definitely a nice compliment on Memorial Day Weekend.
I came close to being recognized, but not quite. Showed up to play the pipes at a wreath laying ceremony Monday. The M.C. took a look at me and said "Black Watch?" Close, MacKay. They do look similar.
I wish I believed in reincarnation. Where's Charles Martel when you need him?
The City of Exeter pipe band wears Robertson tartan, and they fairly puffed up with pleasure when I was able to tell them I knew who they were by recognising their tartan.
A group of them goes to Sidmouth folk Festival at the beginning of August most years.
