I'm going to have to get something made from this tartan.

Not something you see everyday in the centre of #Oxford. A fellow dressed in a #kilt walking with clear purpose.

Probably a wedding given the registry office and a number of churches are nearby.

The #tartan was an attractive dark red.

One year ago: "A new Scottish #tartan has been created to honor the thousands of people—primarily women—executed for #witchcraft in #Scotland between the 16th and 18th centuries. The Witches of Scotland is a movement seeking 'Justice for people accused and convicted under the Witchcraft Act 1563-1736'

The Witches of Scotland tartan is part of a campaign to recognize what advocates call one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in the nation’s history. "

#Trivia
There are multiple #tartans for the Clan Scott. The #kilts in the photos are "Black & Grey Bespoke" tartan. They're accurate.

While there are no rules abt which Clan #tartan is to be worn, this one is generally associated with the Border Scotts.

However, #Scotty 's canonical birthplace is #Linlithgow , which is not a "Border town." It's located in West Lothian, in the central part of #Scotland , west of #Edinburgh .
