Actually EB if you stuck to one tartan when in Scotland I doubt any one would ask what tartan you were wearing. Like the other day at Asbourne I took note of your tartan , did not recognise it , and left it at that as a fleeting thought.In passing I also quietly noticed in amongst our wee group , Isle of Skye, Seaforth, Anderson and I think your pal was wearing Black Watch, plus your own, but no comment passed my lips. I and most Scots that I know would never bother to ask. For example though, had we met up the next day and you were wearing another tartan then I would quietly wonder three things. A: Is it another tartan from the same clan? Fine. Or B. Its another Clan's tartan? Not so fine. Or C. Is it an area, unit, fashion, etc., tartan? A bit extravegant but there we go. With each and every unspoken question I might, or might not come upwith the correct conclusion, but I will never know, as there is no way I would ever ask you and in normal circumstances , you would never know what I was thinking!
