As much as I've tried following the directions of Xmarks I have been unable to upload a photo of my personal [not so much] tartan. I do not have photo bucket or anything of that nature so this is best I can do. My not so personal tartan was created to commemorate my time in a field artillery unit -[ Pershing Missile] hence the screen name kilted red leg, that's the nick name given to anyone who was in the artillery. I looked at the army tartan but got turned off with the terminology of "sniper green." Being an artilleryman I decided to create a tartan for the US Army Artillery, though not official since uniform regulations forbid official tartans. I based my colors on what I learned as a young solider in the Army. Black and Gold are the colors of the US Army from day one[June 14th 1775] scarlet red and yellow are the colors of the field artillery [Nov. 17th 1775] and green was used as a nod to the first commanding officer, Colonel Henry Knox who was of Scots Irish descent. Anyone whose served in an artillery unit of any kind may wear this tartan, or if you are related to anyone in an artillery unit or you just want to honor the men and women who serves in the artillery you're welcome to this tartan. Again I apologize for not being able to upload a photo. You can also go to the Tartan Registry and click on search registry then click A-Z hit the letter "B" then look for the name Barlow. Click on the computer generated tartan and you'll see what it looks like in thread.

Here is your Tartan

Here is another that was done a few years ago.

It is taken from the colors of the US Army Dress uniform with Artillery Branch affiliation.

I rather like your tartan design for artillery.

I also like this artillery tartan.

I'll be passing this on to my nephew. He is a three combat tour tanker, grad from Fort Knox and now National Guardsman. He'll get excited that such a garment exists. Thanks for this.

I rather like your tartan design for artillery.

Just to be clear, this is not an artillery tartan, that would require the sanction of a senior officer, it is a personal tartan that the owner is happy to share with others who served in the (presumably US) artillery.

Quite correct Figheadair I'm willing to share my personal tartan with anyone who wants to wear it much like the clan chiefs and landowners who raised regiments and let them use their personal tartans for identification. I also did my BCT at Fort Knox. Just to finish today is the finale of the World Bag Pipe Championships in Glasgow Scotland. It is being live streamed by the BBC for us here and around the world, you can see many styles of highland garb there - maybe even pick up some ideas.
