A Scotsman once told me, "In Scotland, we stop doing the accent when you guys aren't around."

#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 .

#ReformUKLtd, the company that puts up Union Jacks on lampposts, thinks that its best bet for going after the protest vote in #Scotland is to create its own new tartan.

"Personally I can’t wait to address our next Scottish meeting in full Scottish dress as a true Scotsman." said English-born English-educated erstwhile England MEP and candidate in various English elections, RUK chairman David Bull.

Happy #TartanDay!

This tartan is for the #Scottish #Clan "Cameron of Lochiel."

Among its most notable Clan Chiefs is Donald Cameron, the 22nd Chief of the Camerons, known as "The Gentle Cameron." (Born 1695, died 1748.)

During the #JacobiteRebellion of 1745, he fought for the cause of #BonniePrinceCharlie, but showed great mercy to the defeated city of Glasgow, which the city still recognizes today.

The Chief earned the name "Gentle Lochiel" for having spared #Glasgow when the #Stuart army retreated north, and in gratitude the citizenry decreed that the bells of the #TolboothKirk should forever be rung whenever his descendants passed through the city.

This #ThrowbackThursday is not from Pitt, but that school across the bridge.

Two ticket stubs from Pap Pap's archives of #CMU hosting my alma mater, Westminster College (that little school up north of New Castle surrounded by Amish).

With CMU joining the PAA (D-III) back in 2014 as a football-only associate member, this rivalry has been rekindled, and I'm glad to see it back.
