You don't have to have worn a kilt to own your personal tartan. If you change your mind let me know.
The last tartan l designed and registered was 2 weeks ago for the grandson of Sir Harry Lauder and he has never worn a kilt. see:

yes that's them. I'm sure Scott is the younger one. It's the older one that works on the railway.

My Great Grandmother was a french polisher there...early in WWII my 14 yr old father did piece work assembling bayonets and brought home more money than did his father who was foreman of the tool and die shop.
