There isn't a Gilmore tartan unfortunetly. like other septs of Morrison Gilmores use the Morrison tartan. You can check the tartans in most of the advertiser's stores on here.

Gilmore is NOT a sept of the Morrison clan. It IS the Morrison clan.

Gilmore is from the Gaelic for devotee of the Virgin Mary. It was anglicized to Morrison for some reason. If anything, Morrison is a sept of the Gilmore clan, since it is a later derivation.

One really can't rely on lists of clan septs. The only thing most of them are good for is to sit on on a rainy day when you are outdoors and regimental. Some are widely inaccurate, some the works of fantasy or sloppy research, and some were invented by tartan merchants to induce the public to buy their wares, no matter how remote their connection to Scotland.

The only (well, maybe there is one other) way to discover which clan, if any, you ancestors were associated with is the painstaking task of tracing one's ancestry backward in time, documenting one generation well before researching the one that came before. The other way that sometimes give unassailable results is Y DNA testing.

Gil, good to see you back on the board. Are you back in the States or still on your travels? I had thought you were going to be gone a little longer than this.

I am in Kathmandu, and plan to be here and in India for another year and a half, at least.
