    That could be... I had read somewhere (more than once - wish I could cite sources...sorry ) that during the Proscription some individuals would hold a swatch of tartan in their pocket while receiving a blessing (don't recall that it had anything to do with tartans specifically or not)....

    Thanks for the link, I'm going to pass this along to my friend Rev Ro who conducts our kirkin', I think he'll find it of interest. Irregardless its still one of my favorite aspects of our local games & even if its just a legend, its still a nice tradition & memory for my daughter and myself
