Honestly, I'm probably going to get an ancient MacLaren kilt whether I'm associated with the clan or not. This really stems from a conversation I had over dinner with my aunt about wearing the kilt on a daily basis. She asked what tartans I liked, I told her I was thinking Black Watch or MacLaren, and that's when she told me about the off chance that we might be related to the MacLaren clan. My thinking was "Bonus", but it does not make that much difference in the long run.

I guess the "Moral Choice" was a bit off, but that's what you get when you browse the forum on 3 hours sleep after a large meal of lamb stew... The brain gets fuzzy... I've had a full 8 hours now and I feel much better
