Mac Culloch kilt

When posting to X Marks there are a few protocols which we feel are basic to our forum.

I grew up in a Scottish family ..and I get a kick out of our households listening to Doric ..your info on spelling [mistakes] is how Doric is spelled . I was only being cheerful/familiar in a friendly way .

I understand George but very few on this forum will be able to read or understand things written that way. So while it may make sense to you, everyone else is looking at it and going "What?"

There are two Tartans listed with The Scottish Register of Tartan under the name MacCulloch/MacCullough.

One is #5356 designed by our own Peter MacDonald in 2004.
The other is #5357. Named MacCulloch/MacCullough Dress. Also my Peter MacDonald in 2004.

As this is a relatively new design it is unlikely that there are a lot of these kilts out there.

Including most of those in Scotland too, Steve.

What struck me about the OP wasn't the spelling, but lack of capital letters and punctuation.

I know Wikipedia isn't always reliable, but they give this as an example of Doric

Doric
GIN I was God, sittin' up there abeen,
Weariet nae doot noo a' my darg was deen,
Deaved wi' the harps an' hymns oonendin' ringin',
Tired o' the flockin' angels hairse wi' singin',
To some clood-edge I'd daunder furth an', feth,
Look ower an' watch hoo things were gyaun aneth.

Which appears to have ordinary use of capital letters, and normal punctuation.

In the collection of the late Jack Dalgety (Dalgetys of Forfar) was a c1930-50 specimen of the Red MacDonald of the Isles that was labelled MacCulloch. There was no explanation of why it was so named and it is likely that it was either a trade error or had been adopted or ordered by some particular MacCulloch family at some point. The tartan is not generally recognised as a MacCulloch tartan which is why I was commissioned to design the modern ones c2000.

I think it might be a made up tartan, the Pakistani kilts sometimes do that Nothing comes up on Google or Tartan Register

George, you may not list your location in your profile but your IP gives your location as from New York.

There are approximately five million Scots in amongst how many billion people in the world? In my experience very few of the 5 million Scots speak or even understand Doric. I might hear it once or twice a year when I am shooting or fishing in and around the Aberdeen-shire area , but I cannot recall ever hearing it anywhere else in Scotland.

I am trying to track down a MacCulloch Kilt .
