I'm a little familiar with it -- our St. Andrew's Society has toyed with the idea off and on for a couple of years now -- a friend of mine in Louisiana was very active in their process to establish the La. state tartan, and he has some stories.

His basic advice: involve almost EVERY organisation -- Scottish, Irish, Pipe Bands, dancers, etc. that you can -- so that way no one can complain that you didn't consult them! :mrgreen:

Cheers,

Todd
