An Article on Kilts and The Tartan?

Full Tilt Boogie · An Article on Kilts and The Tartan?

Being as this place is largely about the Jockanese, why doesn't one of you submit an article on kilts and the wearing & history of the different tartans?

Then someone else could do a piece separating fact from fiction, myth from legend on all things Celtic? The Gaels, Picts & Jutes type coverage.

Both topics would draw feedback and input from across the growing membership.

What a good idea. Wee John do you have any information from the states that could be of interest?

For those that would like to read more about kilts, see pictures and read interesting articles, The Scottish Banner is a great little paper. Lots of news and Lady Fiona MacGregor, wife of the clan chief, writes about the borders every issue. Highly recommended.

The Scottish Banner also has " The Gathering 2009" Arrives in Edinburgh.

A Chinese-Scottish tartan has been created to strengthen links between the two countries.

It was inspired by Chinese Consul General Madame Guo Guifang, who said tartan was a key to the appeal Scotland holds for Chinese tourists.

Och Aye. Ei Chai!

"Scots to Chinese Translations" - only three British pounds and fifty pence!

There is a rather annoying thread appearing in various parts of this forum.
