Egad! Bad plaid!

I come (I must admit, though it dates me) from a generation when plaid was actually fashionable. So I like the Black Watch plaid shirt from the first episode of MacGyver. My daughter, being a generation younger is death and destruction on plaid, and if only the fellow at the upper right were in paisley, this cap would be her ultimate sartorial nightmare!

Still, for all that I am fossil enough to like plaid, they seem to have chosen some of the worst possible examples, and then gathered them all together. Eeeewww!!! Scary Plaiddites are Scary!

I'm rather fond of tartan, having a general supply of Scots in me, but this collection is quite the horror. The worst one has to be the guy on RDA's left, in the red/black/grey check. Eww.

Re: Scots. Me too. Anderson and Cleeland/Cleland (a varietay of MacClellan[d]). One of my Scots ancestors wrote a rather well known salacious book, Fanny Hill

I absolutely agree. Worst one is Worst!

You've heard what the Americans (who fought them in and around Fort Ticonderoga) called the Black Watch in their kilts of course - "The grannies from Hell".

Me: Graham of Montrose (one of the prettiest tartans evar!!), McFarland and McGaw. Probably others, but those are the ones we knew about. My father (who was named Duncan Graham) had a Graham of Montrose tartan scarf.

I know that one. It is a pretty one!

I'm American Heinz 57, mixed English, Irish (both sides of the conflict), Scots, Dutch, German, Huguenot, with minor admixture of Swiss and Spanish, and Native American (Powhatan).

My husband, whose family mostly came over in the 1600's is almost pure English, and what's cool about that is that a favorite historical figure of mine as a kid was Alfred the Great, and because of him, my kids are decendants of Alfred the Great. I thought that was cool. Also my lovely, kind, gentle, woman-empowering husband is descended from the Lord of the Manor of Great and Little Rapers. *sporfle*

My father had pajamas in that awful red/black/grey check, and even that looked hideous.
