what heathen would ruin a good whisky?
Well, maybe I'm half rocks instead. In the head?
Whiskey is wasted on me. I've always liked a beer.
I have no Scottish blood, but there are a lot of Scots in my family. Mostly Atkinsons who originally hail from Clan Gordon of Huntly.
Ancient Gordon Tartan:
Also, when I was a kid, I was in the Seaforth Highlander cadets just long enough to get measured for a kilt before family circumstances forced me out.
Ancient Mackenzie is the Seaforth Regimental Tartan:

While I can't identify tartans I have encountered the phrase 'Hazard, yet forward!' before. It was the motto of the American saint Elizabeth Ann Seton and her Sisters of Charity. So I'm guessing that might be the Seton tartan sett?

This is a pretty deep rabbit hole.

Clan crest
So, with these additions I had to get a few varieties of belt, buckles, hose, sporrans and other accessories so I can daily wear.
An exciting time for me.

My Dads side of the family would never mention the "other" clan. In fact dad wouldn't even have a popular tinned soup with their name on, inside the house.

This is possible he closest to my clan. Grandad was from the islands.
Just took a quick picture of my kilt! Mitchell clan (not a clan in itself but a sept of the Innes and MacMichael clans), the tartan is an Ancient Galbraith/Russell/Mitchell (a bit of an oddity as there is nothing that really ties those three names together).

For many years this particular Anderson fellow seemed to wear the clan tartan everywhere he went.
One of my dearest friends (sadly deceased these 14 years) was Rod MacLeod who was born and raised on the Isle of Lewis. I remember the hunting tartan in his apartment, but never saw the other. He was a professor of Virology and Immunology at a large university in the town where I worked. He would have found a great deal of excitement studying Covid. No Scottish ancestry in my clan, lots of northern and central European.
I am a Fraser, born and bred In Midlothian, Scotland. Our clan has many tartans and whilst I do not as yet own a kilt or trews, which incidentally, I prefer, I will purchase something to be wed in next year. Here is my favourite - Fraser Red Muted:

That brings back memories of my freshman year at SDSU. My family was into genealogy at that time, but we could never connect to Ian's lineage.

When I was a kid I was friends with the MacGillivray brothers, whose parents were Gaelic speakers from the northwest coast of Cape Breton Island. It seemed as though everyone they knew was either named Aengus or Archie, and they were all surnamed either Rankin or Beaton. They added adjectives to tell all the Archies and Aenguses apart. There was Donald Aengus, Aengus Ruadh, Aengus Mór, Archie Dubh, Aengus an mall, Red Archie, Archie Aengus, Randall Archie, and Archie Dan.
More or less Clan Hay:
This is the modern. There are also "ancient," "dress," and "hunting" setts. With all that red, Hay is kind of like the famous "Loud MacLeod" tartan is with yellow.
I have four kilts, only one of which is tartan it's this one:
This is Maple Leaf, the offical Canadian national tartan. There are also registered tartans for all the provinces and territories. I bought myself this kilt to celebrate my Canadian citizenship. As a tartan it's a bit of an odd duck because it's asymmetrical so pleating gets interesting particularly when pleating to the sett.
If I were to go for another tartan kilt, I think rather than Hay I'd go for this one:
I've been fascinated with Antarctica and the Heroic Age explorers for a lot of my life, and this is the Antarctic tartan. As a restricted tartan I would have to apply for permission from the Antarctic Trust.
One more -- the tartan that made me laugh out loud:
This is the UPS tartan. First, seriously? Second, it's brown. Also a restricted tartan. But amusing.
O.H.
