Question about appropriate tartans.

[jthk]

Yes, indeed, the HoE weave. Lovely stuff.

Which Cavan? The House Of Edgar Cavan? I love that tartan.



My Cavan people were named Glancy.

The Primary Valuation property survey 1847-1864 shows the following number of Glancy households:

Roscommon 62
Leitrim 34
Longford 6
Cavan 4
Sligo 3
(all other counties 1 or 0)

I've always liked Hunting Stewart, especially in Weathered Colours.

Having numerous Stewart ancestors (going back before the Revolutionary War) when I saw Hunting Stewart Weathered in tweed (from Marton Mills) I had to have it! It's among the most beautiful kilt fabrics I've seen.

For me that tartan hits the Venn Diagram spot where "beautiful" and "appropriate" coalesce.

I like that one, too. Stewart of Atholl is my number one familial connection tartan but this one above is much nicer into my eye.
