    A good Christmas kilt

    Anyone have any ideas on a good "Christmasy" looking tartan for the holidays? I was thinking about going with the Caledonia tartan, the one Rocky has on his site looks like it would fit the holidays nicely. Either that or a solid green one with a nice red shirt. What do you all think? Any other suggestions? Thanks guys!

    MacDonald of Sleat



    One of the MacQuarrie tartans(popular one) is very similar.


    The green in this image is very dark. It is green, not black.

    These two tartans are your best bet, in my opinion.

    The Scottish National below was my XMas kilt last year. In fact the pic is just before I left to the company Xmas party.



    Or the National Millenium would also work well:
