Help and advice on choosing a tartan

[gilmore]

Yes! That's exactly what I meant!

I am not a tartan bigot...... I wear what I like! If some clan chiefie wants to take my kilt, let him try!

The problem with inventing a pack of lies is that some people take genealogy and such matters seriously, might actually believe him, pass on the story as truth until it becomes an accepted fact about his family, only to be overturned years later after much wasted research based upon it. Saying "I don't know" is acceptable. Intentionally lying isn't.
