Well... my tartan is a little interesting:

Cooper/Couper - Loyalist/Protestant:

Ancient is the same with some orange/yellow added in the thinner verticle bands between the white verticle lines.

Made by members that joined the Orange Order, in order to have a 'Protestant' kilt, instead of the one associated with the Couper's that fought for the Stewart's, and on the side of the Catholic Church during the Bishop's War.

But enough about them, onto the 'proper' tartans that I wear

Cooper/Couper - Catholic/Jacobite 'Modern'


Cooper/Couper - Catholic/Jacobute 'Ancient'


As you can see even the tartans in my family tell a little story - or at least show who sided with who during '45.

RACooper, they are beautiful!!! Don't get me wrong, I love mine, but wow!!

aephialum, I know that some women do wear kilts, but as you noted, it's not historically correct. The Clan Gatherings I've been to get a little testy about them, with the exception of a kilt in which to dance. I'd [i]love/i] to be able to afford a proper kitting out!
