Jock, I agree with you, for the most part. I wear Campbell (Black Watch) because my surname is Campbell. But I'm also looking at getting a kilt in either Campbell weathered or Campbell ancient... Maybe both some day. And since I don't know where in Scotland my Campbell ancestors came from, I may also get Campbell of Breadalbane, Campbell of Loudoun, Campbell of Loch Awe, etc... And then there's Campbell of Argyle, which is a fashion tartan... Other than that, I'm stiking to fashion tartans and district/national tartans.

My first kilt was Campbell of Argyle. My second kilt was Campbell (Black Watch). So was my third, and my fifth (All three are in different materials or weights). KIlt no. four was Scottish National. My first tank will definitely be Campbell or a variant thereof.

Each tartan I own, and each kilt I buy, will represent some aspect of who I am, and I am a very complex individual. I refuse to be tied down to just one tartan...

But more than anything, I'm a Campbell. I was born a Campbell and I will die a Campbell, and I will proudly wear the Campbell tartan primarily.
