Apparently Irish clans go by district and not family name but when I looked up either or, its the same exact tartan. Here's the Butler tartan: http://www.scotchcorner.com/mill/irish-tartan-b/butler.html I think my brother's twin beds had a spread that looked like that pattern! That was MANY years ago! And *guest*, it's the Irish Butler tartan, whether or not Gerry claims it. He may not, but I thought it was interesting to find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here is my family Tartan (I hate the colors Lol) and our family crest which means simply "Take action; or die trying"... While my father is a Barclay ; his mother was a Mac Donald.... What a breed.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaliforniaTartan Report post Posted December 29, 2009 A beetle recognises another beetle Aithníonn ciaróg ciaróg eile No scottish blood whatsoever or name heritage to trace. (Not even Irish.) My last name is my own, by my mother's choice. So in a a way, my clan is a clan of one which began (and will end) with me. I gleefully, inspired by Gerry's 40th, was inspired to go to the local kilt warehouse and finally purchase the official state tartan for California which is based on the tartan of Naturalist John Muir! www.sportkilt.com has universal tartans and nontraditional kilts. I showed my kilt off during Christmas time to coworkers and family--Grandma asked when did I go to Scotland. Coworkers commented on expecting traditionalstyle dress like in the I love Lucy's -I'll take the highroad- skit. I understand Gerry doesn't have an official kilt since his family is of Irish descent.

lugerry Report post Posted February 8, 2010 Randa, I checked for a few weeks and I came up with this tartan for the "Calhoun" family. It is Irish though and I married into this family - so does this count! Modern Tartan Ancient Tartan If these cookies are going to be anything like last year's - everyone is going to be pleasantly surprised & completely dumbfounded!!! How did she do that???

irish Report post Posted February 12, 2010 So many beautiful colors in each of the different tartans... Well, I'm 100% Irish and I didn't think we had a tartan (I'm still not sure we do...lol) but this is what I found: One of my grandfathers (my dad's dad) was from County Cavan: My grandmother on my father's side came from Tipperary: My mom's parents were both from Northern Ireland and so I guess the Ulster Red will have to do.... Landa, I can't wait to see what you come up with (and I know you put so much work into doing these every year.....Thank you so much for your generosity). hugs, Sue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
