Cunningham tartan kilt

**cessna152towser** · 1st January 06, 02:53 PM

This is a lowland tartan from North Ayrshire/Renfrewshire so strictly speaking should be worn with tartan trews but I prefer the kilt so got this specially made.

From my home page click on "my photos", then click on the album entitled "kilts".

Lovely pictures!

I love the Cunningham tartan. It's my paternal grandmother's clan and I've a kilt in it as well to honor her (I do love her so). It's very distinctive and looks wonderful. And even better, it looks good on you! :-)

Me too! (But RIP, in my case.)

Kilts are much better than trews, so you made the right choice. :grin:

Wonderful, I wonder if we are distant relations?

It's certainly possible, but I haven't gotten those relations very far back at all. Seems my father's side of the family just wasn't interested in keeping up with such things.

Thanks for the feedback from Sweden. I'm hoping to take some more kilts and Scottish heritage pictures later this year. I've only bought my digital camera and scanner recently so still exploring the potential. Like the others who posted a Cunningham ancestry, I haven't been able to trace mine back beyond three generations, but much more is known of my mother's family. Her maiden name was Mewhort. The ancestry goes back to a William Mewhort who was one of King William's troops who went to Ireland in 1690. He married an Irish grirl and stayed behind, but then the family moved on during the potato famines to Scotland, and later to Canada. So I know of many people with the surname Mewhort throughout Canada and also in Hawaii who are distantly related to me.
