My first was a tank I had built in Scotland 25 years ago and asked the tailor wath tartan should a Walker wear, "Royal Stewart." So, I have a Stewart tank, then an Irish National, Scottish National, and US Coast Guard, however I'm thinking I should buy a MacGregor. I am also meeting Steve in Victoria next week to measure me for a contemporary kilt in a cloth as yet undetermined until I see his selection.
The story about the Walker's and the MacMillan's seems feasible, and the MacGregors does also. I wonder if a DNA test would prove much if we historically belonged to a particular clan but not descended from the chief would it show any link? On my mother's side there is a direct link to Livingstone. I met my Great grand mother when I was young and she remembered her grandmother, Dr. Livingstone daughter. But to follow the paternal Walker name is difficult as it disappears into the Highlands. Like I said there is Moffett's, but the Clark, Callender, Grier, Walker all are included in the Clan MacGregor. But heck, go back 5 generations and you're talking 32 names and it continues until I could be related to anyone or everyone. I followed my family back 32 generations, but would only testify to maybe 10 generations as being trustworthy information. The online sites proclaim my lineage to King Alba, Stewarts, William the Conqueror, etc. Blah, blah, blah. My paternal Walker line, great-great gandfather James came through County Donegal, Ireland from Scotland and married a lass there before he came over in 1821. His wife Sarah Moffett was the great-granddaughter of a "Kilty Officer" of a Highland Regiment who was awarded land in Ireland from William and Mary of Orange. So he faught on the "wrong side" you might say.
I guess I am rambling here....
Maybe we should start our own Caln Walker-Americana
