I found a predominant Clan to accociate myself with!

[isantop]

Turns out, long ago, the scots did dominate (like they like to) a portion of (deep breath): My great-great-grandmother's side of my family. (pant)

This may seem small, but some ethnicities, like Italian, for example, have a 1%=100% philosophy (I defineately take this with my other dominant nationalities). So, why not scottish? (making me 100% Italian, 100% Swedish, 100% German, and 100% Scottish for a grand total of 400%! )

What clan? What clan? Drumroll please...

Crawfurd! I'm 100(/about 2^5or6)% Crawfurd.

I'm not exactly sure where it comes from, but I've always been interested in geneology, so I'm sure I'll be able to track him down.

And, the next kilt on my wish list is in Crawford.

Hear! Hear!

My great-grandmother was a Blair and one of these days I am so going to to get a kilt in the Blair tartan. It also helps that I was close to her.

Congratulations.

Well isa, your on your way to... yup, kilted heaven... or is it kilted addiction... either way, it is good to find a connection to your scottish heritage.

Crawford is an armigerous clan, as is mine. I do wish you luck.

armigerous clan,

uhhhhh ohhhhhhh

I am passing afeared to ask what an "armigerous clan," might be?

Willing to donate arms?

Overly affectionate?

They have to swim up-stream to breed?

Please enlighten us

Unless I am greatly mistaken, all the clans are armigerous.

Good on ya, laddie! And if anyone tries to poop in your cheerios and starts talking about how not all surnames were members of clans, and clans never wore tartans because tartans didn't come along until long after the wheels had come off the clan system, yadda yadda yadda, don't listen.

Enjoy learning about where you came from. If you're like me, this discovery will awaken a pride inside you that you didn't even know was there. Wear your tartan proudly.

One can wear a clan tartan with pride and recognise the many myths associated at the same time, you know?
