During our excursion to Edinburgh on Saturday, October 7th, we found out that the Rose and Anderson Families have a tartan and crest. We stumbled across the Anderson Family first, which I was really excited about. Both sides of my family have the name ‘Anderson’ and while I don’t think that either came from Scotland, they may have still have used the tartan. Mike tells me that the more colours that are in the tartan, the richer the family is. Well, there are tons of colours in the Anderson tartan, so I plan on looking up my long-lost rich relatives because I am sure that they would love to fund some of my travel wishes! We didn’t expect for the Rose’s to have a tartan and crest at all and were really excited when we stumbled across it. I plan on getting a scarf with this tartan now and we already bought a magnet. Below are links to the Anderson and Rose family information, if you click on the links on the left of the pages you can see the tartans and crests and more. The first sight has more tartans, and you can look up other last names. It also has quite a bit of the different variations that a certain clan may have worn (such as hunting, dress, casual, etc.)

I check out your blog every morning at work while the breakfast foods are cooking. The only drawback to that is it does not allow us to make comments. Forbidden site!!! Sounds like everything is working out great for the two of you. Hope Mike's studies are doing fine and it is all he hoped for. Sure missed you giggle at Christmas.
Let Mike know that Uncle Larry REFUSES!!! to create an indoor Lawn Golf course for me to practice on. Can you believe it. It just seems wrong.
Keep the pictures and commentary coming on the blogspot. I sure enjoy it. Aunt Sue
Hmm.. I have a tartan weaving book, I'll have to see if these are in it!
