Kilt Pin Brag

[Oldhiker]

It's actually an Ancient Campbell of Argyll, George.

I married a Campbell (on her mom's side). Her mom is into the family geneology bit and she'd traced their lineage back to the Campbells of Argyll, so I adopted their tartan.

I believe the Ancient Campbell of Argyll is NOT approved by the current head of the clan, but... I've never really been one to follow rules that well.

(On a side note... it's very interesting to go to tartan festivals and games and see the Campbells still get boo'd by the MacDonalds. And I thought my brother held grudges!)

We Lamont's don't hold grudges, If you examine the records the Lamont's were not totally innocent themselves. I have no idea how the Campbell's sheep ended up on Lamont land??? (wink wink) That stuff was 350 yrs ago,
I personally an flattered that the Campbell's copied the Lamont ancient tartan, don't let any of the experts on here tell you that the Campbell's were first.

From one hiker to another Welcome !!!
