Things Cornish

[Spartan Tartan]

Being that my family hails from St. Ives, Cornwall, I love seeing the pictures and hope to visit soon.

I don't have any nice pictures of Cornwall, but I have a couple of my kilt Well, actually I have ONE of me wearing my kilt and one of a Cornish gentlemen that I ran into last weekend here in Rhode Island at the local Highland Festival.

The first is a couple years old, but it's the only one I have of me wearing my Cornish Hunting kilt.



Here, I am wearing the District Tartan of the State of Michigan (That's where my Cornish ancestors moved and took their mining skills to work in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan). But on my Right is Fred. He was straight off the boat, as they say. He was shocked that I would even recognize the tartan and I was surprised to see it at all! I have only seen pictures of others wearing it in Cornwall, but never here in the States. Nevertheless, here it is.
