Hey, Rocky, I just realized you're a year early, but this is just in time for the 250th Anniversary of the Battle of Bushy Run (August 1763). I actually grew up near there.

Ran into Rocky at the Celtic Fling at Mount Hope, and just wanted to see the Pennsylvania State Tartan, just looking you understand.
Of course Rocky, evil genius that he is, has a Pennsylvania Tartan casual, on the rack, IN MY SIZE . I took this as a sign that i had to buy it. I also took it to Orlando and Charleston with me for vacation the next day.
No pics yet, sorry, but it is even better looking in person - very rich colors. I got lots of compliments on it, including about a dozen from Scottish tourists.

I had several ancestors in Pennsylvania, but they were only there for a VERY short time (coming up on 149 years ago in a couple of weeks).
That's a lovely tartan, though, and you did a fine job with the color choice.

Honors my many ancestors who "did time" in Pennsylvania going back to the late 1700's...Revolutionary times.

hello,
have ancestor Henry Clay (grgrgrda) he and his brother (Chas or John??) were born in Germantown near Philadelphia I guess about .....1840's but havent nailed them to where they were or family there beyond that Clay being Scottish at all if not an English name (I "sume" ..Livingstone or MacLeay) ..but no paper yet ..I'll work on it ..it looks like US Army as a quick look ..seems neat enough for any Pa folk and Pa had it's share of Scots way back I hear in 1700's ..besides German folks taking root ..lots of highland soldiers passed thru in Fr Ind War ..stature "Claywise" his son is right on the nosey but half Irish himslef as his ma was daughter of Irish gr........grunny in US in 1850 but no daddy in NY . He Henry looked Scottish more than Irish I saw his pic looked like Old Mtn Phelps the Adirondack guide ..his son I met about 1962-1964 aged ..-mid 80ish or so ..born 1871 . Francis (grgrda) was 5'2" and "half" Irish ..
good luck ..nice .
