Your tartans and Why?

[Prester John]

Robertson Red.

Married the hottest girl at a University with 25,000 hot chicks.

Just my luck, she was a Robertson.

Stewart = {Black & Royal} Great Grand da on Mom's side.
(Welsh) Harris = Great Grand da on Father's side.
Clergy/Clark = by profession.

Irish Saffron = 'cos I like it,( same for Scottish Heritage, Black watch, Black shaded, Irish National).

[Rigged]

Hunting Stewart and Black Stewart - I'm directly related to Ramsey (Ramsay), but I don't like the Ramsay tartan. The Ramsay clan was closely allied with the Royal Stewarts, so I wear the Stewart tartans.

Nightstalker tartan - because I like it.

My tartans and why?

Okay, I'm one of those who believes in wearing what I please, but this is an interesting thread.

Currently have:
Black Watch: I really like the tartan. I think it is one of the best looking tartans out there, and it tends to be considered a "universal tartan"

Roadblock: Okay, it is really a generic tartan, but since it had no name that I could find, I call it by the name of my cat that passed away.

Desire to obtain:
MacGregor: I have ties to the clan through my mother's side of the family.

Colorado: I am a resident of Colorado, with absolutely no desire to live anywhere else. This is my home, and the fact that the state tartan is absolutely incredibly beautiful is a bonus.

County Armagh: To honor my Irish roots. Most of the Irish blood in my veins can be traced back to Armagh.

Irish National: Again to honor my Irish Roots.

USAF Reserve tartan, AKA US Forces: To honor the service given by many of my family in the USAF, the branch of the US military that I would have gone into if they had let me in.

I'm sure to be missing some, but these are the top of my list.

County Armagh: To honor my Irish roots. Most of the Irish blood in my veins can be traced back to Armagh.

I get a lot of compliments on this tartan.

[mang1974]

Montgomery on my mother's side; her mother was from Port Glasgow. Her mother's (my great-grandma) maiden name was MacIntyre, which I hope to get at some point.
