The Keith tartan is another handsome one and it's always good to know where the next jones is coming from, isn't it... 
Yes it is good to know about the next Jones.... I knew I would be getting another one....possibly a firefighter tartan but when I heard about a Keith who stated he was getting a Gunn to commemorate the treaty, I couldn't think of a better next kilt. In Clan Gunn...it is now customary to name your first born son "Keith" to honor the treaty.
You should contact your society genealogist to find out about a possibly formal treaty. The Gunn/Keith feud was a really brutal and long lasting one that would actually make a great movie.
Kilt on Brother !
