Rethinking the Black Watch Tartan

[Jack Daw]

Ron;

Although my ancestor was a Jacobite, our clan (MacIntyre) Chief swore loyalty to Campbell of Breadalbane (CoB) because the Chief was married to the Earl's daughter. Also, the Highland poet, Duncan Ban MacIntyre, wore the CoB tartan as a Breadalbane Fencible. As such, I not only have the B.W., I also had a special weave of the CoB tartan made into a kilt. We also had loyalties to the MacDonalds. Our clan provided pipers to the MacD of Ranald and the Menzies of Weems.
