Australian tartan

[Graham]

I had a chance to see this, a friend showed me a kilted skirt he had bought for his wife made from this tartan.

I thought it looked nice on a maturer lass, it's very conservative i thought, I wouldn't wear it myself, but then I'm not a patriot really when it comes to Australia. I've only been here 40 years, I'm still English 8)

I know what your saying. I am getting married in Ireland next year. My wife is taking my last name and I'm wearing her county tartan, Longford. Now, I am from the U.S. born and bred, been to Ireland several times, but never to Longford and my family ties are to Dublin and Laois.

You live there and therefore, if you like it, wear it. I think the United States tartans are silly all red white and blue, not much creativity there, and there is an Ohio tartan, but again, red white and blue. I'm a proud U.S. citizen and member of her armed forces, but there is only so much of the "r","w" and "b" I can take.

I am sorry Graham, but your link is not working for me! I get the webpage but no tartan!

It didn't work for me either, but you can get there if you click on the "A" and then scan down to the Australian Tartan.
