Hail to the Chief of Clan Scott

[AKScott]

The red. I have a Hunting tartan (Cornish) and a Black Watch, and I thought I wanted a change from tasteful green. So I looked at reds, for which my friendly kilt maker had samples, and it was down to Scott (modern) and Robertson.

I like the white stripe in Scott so I went for that. I've read most of Sir Walter's novels, and intend to read the rest in the next few months, plus The Lady of the Lake and The Lay of the Last Minstrel, so I hope any Scott will not be offended by my choice of their tartan, given my devotion to their most famous literary member.

Well, you have a good story to go with it. It has been said before you don't have to have Scottish blood in your veins as long as you have a drop of Scottish in your heart. Thank you for choosing our sett for a reason other than "it was pretty," much appreciated.

I am not quite sure of the title you get, I am cousins with EagleJCS (above) Riverkilt and SevenOaks that I know of here.

I think I will go with "adopted cousin" and shorthand that "cousin" until advised otherwise by folks more up on these things than me. I have made this decision because I am number 247,894,966 in line for the crown of England...

Cousin, did you go with Locharron, House of Edgar or other for the red? I have swatches of the red from both LA and HOE, not an easy decision.
