RandomLanda Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 As some of you may know, I have been doing cookies for the past few years and will continue to do so as long as I am able and as long as you want them. Well I'm coming to you for help this time. I already have it in my head what I'm going to do be doing but I would love to have some input. Now my own family (believe it or not) has ties to Clan Drummond and my husband's to Clan MacBeth. What I want from you is who do you belong to? What's your clan tartan? If you could provide a picture of the tartan as well, that would be great. Thanks, Landa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas gramma Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I am of Scots Irish blood (and Spanish!), but my dad's family had been Irish so long, the Scots connection has been dimmed. Therefore, I wear the Flower of Scotland plaid which is more universal. Suzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBPhanatic Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Mine is from the Murray clan. There are actually two and I'm not sure which one my family originates from. This is on my father's side with the other half being of Native American heritage. The Murray of Tullibardine The Murray of Atholl Hope this helps.

Songbird Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 How about Scotland's flag, Landalish? There's a plethora of Stewart tartans. I'm sure mine must be the royal one, though, don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackie62 Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) My family (on my dads side) descends from Clan Johnstone (southern Scotland) and in Ireland, Clan McQuillan. I don't know the tartan for McQuillan but here is the Johnstone tartan: Johnstone Ancient Johnstone Modern Oh, just found this bit of interesting history on the McQuillans, seems they liked a fight!! http://clankane.net/Fued_With_the_mcquillans.htm Edited November 11, 2009 by jackie62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomLanda Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 His family was Irish and he's a Butler. Already looked into it. Apparently Irish clans go by district and not family name but when I looked up either or, its the same exact tartan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) I thought he told Jay Leno his family doesn't have a tartan and the GB.net lists him as not having a family tartan I'm just asking out of curiosity, like wouldn't he know All those tartans photos that you posted are all very pretty, I love plaids and have so many plaids in my wardrobe especially around winter time. About those cookies, I guess it's only for the Gals convention...too bad I would love to see what they look like lol! I had to edit because I wrote he doesn't have a family instead of a family tartan oops! Edited November 12, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan~Sporran Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I don't have a clan that I know of. However, back when GALS was brand new I created the MacSporran Clan just for fun only to find out sometime later at a Scottish Festival that there really IS such a clan and I bought a tam in the tartan. I was blown away especially when I read the origins of the clan: MacSporran means 'son of the purse', and the clan is said to have been hereditary pursebearers to the lords of the Isles. So the MacSporrans were the Highlanders' ACCOUNTANTS!! And I'm an ACCOUNTANT! Hee hee it was meant to me. Here is our tartan. Here I am wearing the tam on Burns Night at Oran Mor in Glasgow in 2006. It is likely to make an appearance sometime in Las Vegas as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbandonThought Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I wanna play! So my name is Kennerley... the Kennerley's haven't lived in Scotland since the 1500s, so there's no "Kennerley" tartan... but there is a tartan for the derivative "Kennedy"s! Kennedy Ancient Kennedy Modern Also, tracing my paternal lineage far enough, I'm a Carrick! Carrick Modern Last, but not least, my grandmother was an O'Neill, one of the few Irish families with their own tartan! O'Neill Tartan I love ancestry. It makes me feel so connected to the world.
