Excellent. I had wondered myself about your slogan...

Very cool! I would like to visit Moy Hall sometime too, so I echo dirkskene's questions.

It's good to see some of Clan MacKintosh (MacIntosh) present, and well represented. My family too is a sept of Clan MacKintosh. My surname is Rich, which probably suffered a name change a some point in the past. Currently my Hunting MacKintosh kilt is under construction, due in the early spring. If any of you haven't seen it yet, this might be of some interest to you. http://www.clanmackintoshna.org/

My mom is a McIntosh, so I often stop by their tent at Highland games. On a visit to their tent at Grandfather Mtn a few years ago...I chatted with a young fella of the Clan Chattan who was telling me that the Chief is very down to earth and really open to showing clan members (at any rate) some of Moy Hall and such. It would probably help if you were a paying member of the Clan Chattan Society, but I thought it was a great compliment to the Clan Chattan Society... Plus the weathered McIntosh is an AWESOME tartan. I freakin' love it...!

I've seen lots of MacKintosh Tartans, but I've never seen the Weathered one. Could you post a link, of a pic. I'm interested in seeing this one too.

Thanks

Weathered Hunting MacIntosh

Well, I didn't find the weathered Clan MacIntosh tartan, but I did find the Weathered Hunting, which looks awesome, too. Now I dont know wheather the fella was wearing Weathered Hunting or Clan???

In my experience the "Weathered" colours as they're called are fairly scarce, but I like them much more than "Ancient" tartans. For instance, I know of only one weaver who offers Weathered MacGregor (LochCarron), which is what Mr Newsome is making my new Kilt in, so if your kiltmaker doesn't use LochCarron, your just out of luck. Through my travels in Scotland I've also come under the impression that Hunting and Muted/Weathered/Ancient tartans, especially the darker Hunting colours, are very popular.
