Welcome, Geordie!

Are you from Newcastle, I take it? :mrgreen: Have you considered the Northumberland tartan? Very striking, I must say.

Glad to have you aboard!

Cheers,

Thanks for the link todd. Looks like a real nice tartan. The one thats really got my eye at the moment is the Boyd tartan, its my granny's family. But since i'm not a Boyd would i be stepping on toes?

Not at all -- your grandmother was a Boyd, so you are honouring her and your kin by wearing it.

Cheers,
