My favorite Stewart tartans, in order:

Grey (hard to find in medium weight)
Black (Dad wears black)
Hunting (rented by kiltrental.com and Pipeline Bagpipes)

For this graduation, there is a reason why Royal Stewart is not on the list, although it really is beautiful.

Supposedly I am the eighth or ninth generation of Stewart in my line in Canada. I do know that my grandfather's grandfather worked on the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the late 1800s. So my connection to the Stewart clan is tenuous, and I have no idea what region of Scotland my ancestors left. So I don't think Stewart of Appin, Ardshiel, Atholl, Bute, Fingask, Galloway, Killiecrankie or Rothesay are appropriate. Mind you, we know there is no law preventing me from wearing any tartan, but I like to fancy that I am wearing an appropriate one.

Raphael, I'd love to take you up on your offer to see the Stillwater Black Stewart.

For the time being, I am not going to actively chase this. If the event happens, I'll get serious about it. I expect to know in a month or so. I thank you all for your advice. It has given me a lot to chew on.
