Eventually I'll probably get a Black Stewart, an Ancient Cooper and a Sheffield. Maybe also a Durham, since that's where my dad was from.
Thanks also to everyone else who responded. I appreciate all the replies.

I always thought Black Stewart was a generic tartan, am I right? Anyway, the nightstalker, the Scottish national, the Irish National, Ireland's national, states tartans, district tartans, the list goes on and on...

Black Stewart (Stewart Mourning) is an open tartan as far as I know, as are most of the Stewart tartans. Also, as far as I know, there is no specific British tartan. There is the Govt tartan, which some say is an old Campbell tartan. There are several connected to the Royals as well. What it really comes down to is you're free to wear almost any tartan you want, just learn a bit of the history of it. Offsetting that, many tartans are very recent creations and there really isn't any history to them. The Irish County tartans and corporate tartans are examples of that.

If you are a dash Welsh, start there and get a Welsh tartan. Otherwise, go for a district, the USA St. Andrew's is very nice if you live here.

Black Watch is always available as well. And with the Welcsh, one of the Welsh tartans would be fine. I believe that there is a one kilt maker that only makes Welsh cilts.
The kilt concealed a blaster strapped to his thigh. Lazarus Long

Here is another great looking tartan

It is the Mass stste tartan. I think it looks similar to the Black Stewart
