Certainly no sillier than a colonial buying the American Bicentennial tartan from the UK!

Touche! with an accent over the "e" but I don't know how to do that on this board.

Also, (US) Americans wearing Scotland National . . .
OR Irish National

Or a southerner (US) wearing a Scottish garb and trying to spell in French . . .


Crazy world, Ain't it???

Material review:

Blue is a nice shade. Much darker than looked on my computer. It is bright enough to be distinct from the black, while not being too "royal" either. The two thread wide pale blue "border" between the twin whites and the darker blue is there.
Repeat (full center to matching center)-> 6 7/8 inches

sevage-> where line of red to black would be. The full red block is there.

Feel-> very nice-> a bit on the coarse side (as it should be)

It is heavy weight (it was listed as 16 oz). I have not weighed it, but it "feels" accurate.

Possingk PMed me that it was made by Lochcarron, which is a VERY good mill.

I am very happy with my purchase. I would give it a "thumbs up" to anyone interested in this fabric.

Happy Colonial,

Please read "Albion's Seed" and "The Cousin's Wars" before making such a statement. The majority of "Revolutionary" ideals in the American Rebellion were actually from English Country Opposition/Whig Thought, or "there's nothing new under the sun". Many folks in the UK voiced their support for the colonists, such as Robert Burns and Edmund Burke.

Not to mention the fact that the Black Watch (and many other British regiments) take no battle honours for the Revolution becaue "it was a war between kith and kin" -- that phrase is taken directly from the regimental history.

In sunlight, the blue is more of a royal after all.

It is a GREAT match for the Caberdancer/MacBubba X Marks the Scot t-shirt:

They are also an official sponsor/merchandizer to this site:

PM me if you'd like a table of common accentuated chracters that I keep taped close to my desk. I use é so often, I don't think about it any more.

Todd thanks for the info, but it was really a comment made in fun, with no factual basis intended. Macwage and I were just jibing back and forth.

Or, on a Mac,

Option-E, e: é
Option-I, e: ê
Option-U, e: ë
Option-C: ç

I've found that typing extended characters is far easier on a Mac than on a Windows box.
