Tartans not of your lineage

[Pleater]

I wear Armstrong tartan - My link with it is simply that my father loved the Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire - it is a car - if it had been a woman he'd have married her.
His mother was a Wilson and I am fairly sure that a Wilson designed the gearbox of the cars - whatever - Dad loved the Siddeley Sapphire.

I think Wilson is Irish. I have Wilson in me. My mother's mother married a Coyne, whose own mother was a Wilson from Ireland. OTOH, I seem to have a lot of anglo on mom's side. Scottish, Welsh, English and Irish. The whole lot. I have relatives in Kent and my great-grandmother was from London. It balances out the Napolitano on my dad's side. Anyway, Armstrong has a fine tartan.
