    You just about nailed it! It's Mitchell, Russell, Galbraith, or Hunter; although, I think I read there's a variation used for Hunter now.

    In my case, it's Mitchell (16oz House of Edgar Nevis range)

    I used to have a kilt in the same tartan, although I think it was in the ancient colours.
    That's the only reason I recognised it!

    One of the reasons I can't ever quite bring myself to wear another tartan is I get asked all the time what clan my kilt is (even though the Mitchells aren't a clan) and I like being able to give my own surname in response.
    You're the first person who's recognized my tartan and said so. It's a pretty nice feeling.

    Oh boy, at that price we'd go much more often. With the three day, park hopper passes we bought, we'll have to sell our younger son into indentured, Disney servitude to pay for it!

    One of the cast members who chatted with me, a younger guy, was very happy to see someone wearing a kilt. He said he's only seen three people, including himself, go to the park kilted. He had to shake my hand and he said he felt he should give me a button or something. I should've told him about this website, but my head was already swimming from all the stimuli.

    You grew up 2 miles from Disneyland and didn't find a way of climbing over or under the fence? My (fairly small) 29 yo son apparently still finds ways in to the local attraction over 30 miles away which doesn't cost him anything. Mind you I gather he has been ejected a couple of times recently.
    If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!
