Which tartan to associate with
Hi. I'm a newbie and fascinated by how you come to choose your kilt. So I'm Scottish on my mother's side - her grandmother was born in Scotland - her father was a Grant; her mother was a Forbes. In choosing a tartan, do you tend to go with the maternal or paternal line, or does it come down to personal choice (i.e. who you most identify with)? Also, my great great grandfather John Grant was a soldier/bagpipe player with the 79th regiment (the Cameron Highlanders) and I understand they had their own kilt. So in that case, do you go with the Clan Grant tartan or the Cameron Highlander tartan? Does one take precedence of the other, or is it, once again, personal choice? Looking forward to your thoughts.
