    I thought I would jog everyones memory about the meaning of the colors in our own X Marks the Scot.com Tartan.

    The blue background with the white lines are taken from the Saltire flag which is the X in our name.

    The Grey was chosen to represent the typing we all do on the computer screen.

    And the yellow, why its the color of the smilies of course.

    (the little tiny red line hidden in the tartan is for the blood shed by our moderators keeping us all friendly.)
