Actually, my mother's family came from Poland. Their transliterated name is Dudziak (pronounced doo-jock or doo-chok depending on how hard one wishes to pronounce the "j" sound). A duda is a pipe and a dudziak is a pipe player, so there must be some Scottish in there somewhere!
I have never seen the Mackenzie Dress tartan before. It makes a nice-looking kilt, especially for outdoors. Is your kilt sewn from Lochcarron's Reiver (lightweight) cloth?

Dear Mr. John,
do you mean 1700s or 1600s because (according to Cajunscot) Bacon's rebellion happened in the late 17th Century (1670s)? I was just wondering. A Polish piper as well.
I really like the Tartan too although the debate is still on about the tartan...

I had though there was a consensus...
I really do not know what the cloth is (other than wool) as I found it used for a good price and Scottish thrift compelled me to buy it.

I am still wondering what your Father's ancestors did to fall foul of Oglethorpe...
