Kilt colors explained?

[The Wizard of BC]

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.)

As is oft the case, Matt Newsome of the Tartan Museum has written an informative article on the subject of colors in tartans, which you can find here.

That is a very informative and common sense article!

Although I was unaware that Elvis was the man on the grassy knoll; glad to have that finally cleared up

While we're on the topic, Bigfoot is also Elvis, in a furry suit.

Which confirms my post above, Jake.

Yes, that's true but he uses more words.
