We Scots are a mongrel race too, only we started quite a bit earlier with the mixing.....that probably goes for all of us the world over , even if we don't know the who or the where, if we care to think about it...... and we are still adding to the mixture. As I have said we tend to just pick one tartan for whatever reason and stick with it, although the paternal line is probably the usual route. Again, as I have mentioned, we make a choice whatever that might be and stick with it. It does not mean that we forget our other ancestors that we know of. As I also mentioned, it is also a much less expensive option!

We tend buy the best we can afford and buy only once. Something many on this website might like to think about?
