    What's your tartan avatar?

    Recently, GMan posed the question of what some member's signatures mean when translated into English. I have been wondering about some of the avatars that members have used. They are often too small to really see their beauty or, in some cases, even make out the clan/state/etc. of the tartan.

    How about those members, who use a tartan as their avatar, posting a reply to this and identifying your tartan avatar and/or provide a link to a better (larger) version of same.

    Heck, even if you don't currently use a tartan as your avatar, perhaps you have a family or favorite tartan you'd like to present to the forum. I'm sure many of us would find that just as interesting.

    Thanks,

    State of Maine tartan

    Although I don't currently use a tartan as my avatar, here is one that's dear to me and relatively unknown...



    This is the State of Maine tartan, the oldest of the authroized U.S. State tartans. The two shades of blue are for the ocean and the sky, the green for the forests and the red is for the bloodlines of the people of Maine.

    Mine is the MacIan tartan, chosen because my closest Scottish link was my dad's mother who was a McKean, a variation of MacIan.
