Given that I’m about to get married, I have to give serious thought to the question of which tartan to wear.<\/p>\n

Should I go for Buchanan<\/a> because that’s the clan I’m marrying into? It’s not normally the done thing, although my daughter of course is a member of Clan Buchanan.<\/p>\n

Or should I go for a non-clan tartan, such as the Danish<\/a> one? Another option along these lines would be Glasgow<\/a>, but it’s not exactly pretty.<\/p>\n

A somewhat humorous choice would be McNeil<\/a>, based on my mother’s maiden name, Nielsen. Not sure whether this would be considered a serious crime in some circles.<\/p>\n

Finally, I could go for one of the really common ones that Scots tend to wear if they can’t get hold of the proper one, but that would be a bit boring, wouldn’t it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
