Happy Tartan Day all!

Here's my clan colors.

http://www.tartans.com/clans/Rose/rose.html

Clan Rose



Quote
The Rose family seems to have been strongly connected with the de Boscos and the de Bissets. The name disappeared for a time, then re-appeared in the middle of the thirteenth century around the Moray Firth area.
In 1290, Hugh Rose of Geddes' son Hugh, acquired the lands of Kilravock by marriage to Marie, daughter of Elizabeth de Bisset and Andrew de Bosco. Hugh and Marie made their home at Kilravock which has remained the designation of the chief and the family's home to this day.

When Hugh, the fourth of Kilravock married Janet Chisholm, he also acquired lands at Strathnairn and the addition of her family's boar's head the Rose shield. When the family lost all the family's writs and charters in a fire, John, son of the fifth of Kilravock, had to reconstruct the family's titles to the landholdings and obtain charters from James I, the Earl of Ross and the Chisholm. Around 1460, the seventh Baron built the Tower of Kilravock.

The Roses of Kilravock were diplomatic in their relations and from time to time, Mary, Queen of Scots, stayed at Kilravock. When her son, James VI, visited there, it's said he treated the baron like a father. The Roses suuported the Reformation, and eventhough they had good relations with the royals, the thirteenth Baron opposed the religious policies of Charles I.

They were loyal to the government during the Revolution and the Jocobite Risings of 1715 and 1745. Hugh, the 12 of Kilravock, voted against the Union of 1707, but was one of the commissioiners to reqresent Scotland in the first British parliament.

Kilravock is still the clan seat and the chief's family home.

What clans do you want? Is simple to do but I know you have at least two clans you have mentioned Stewart and Appin any others? Only takes about 2 seconds once I get a good tartan GIF to add to it and I have a pretty good source for these.

Which Appin tartan as well as there are several different tartans

Same with Stewart

Well, to be totally honest Scottish2, without more research, I am not completely sure exactly which Stewart Tartan is the proper one for me...so I need a more "general" tartan that can be for any person with that name - perhaps the "Hunting Stewart" or even the "Ancient Stewart" tartans would be the more appropriate to use. For now, I just pick the ones which have my favorite colors in them - blue and green combinations - they match my current wardrobe the best :p  !

President Bush?s Tartan Day message and response from The Right Honourable Jack McConnell MSP, First Minister for Scotland


Tartan Day message 04/05/2002

I am pleased to send warm greetings to those celebrating Tartan Day.
America has been shaped by the principles of liberty and freedom, guided by the pursuit of justice and enriched by the diversity of its people. Since our Nation?s founding, Scottish Americans have greatly contributed to our people?s progress and prosperity. From their significant role in drafting and signing the Declaration of Independence to their service as Presidents, Governors and military heroes, Scottish Americans continue to build and strengthen our country.

As you take part in customs that honour the role of Scottish Americans in our history, I join you in celebrating the contributions of these important Americans. This observance renews our appreciation for the diversity and remarkable heritage that unites us all.

Laura joins me in sending our best wishes for a memorable celebration.

Response from The Right Honourable Jack McConnell MSP, First Minister for Scotland

The good wishes of President Bush and the American people are very much appreciated. Scotland is proud of our strong links with the US, a land where so many of our ancestors first set eyes on the country of their dreams, and one which has welcomed us over the years. Together we share a respect and commitment to the democratic values and traditions on which our lands are based. We look forward to building even better links with America and the American people from which we will all prosper.

Thanks for that presidential announcement Maggie. I am so glad that you posted that. Think I will post that on the main site tonight under our Highland Dispatch news.

We spent Tartan Day at the Dennisport, MA Highschool on Cape Cod. In addition to some terrific Highland Dancing (which included my kids on stage ? very proud moment), we enjoyed bagpipes, music, food and honoree visits by Mary Queen of Scots and Robert the Bruce. Both in appropriate dress, the kids loved it.

Has anyone seen any TV highlights on the gathering of bagpipers in NYC?

Sounds like everyone had a nice Tartan Day!  (d) to the senator from Shortbit's state of Mississippi for declaring Tartan Day.  I hope my children will learn to appreciate their heritage from Scotland and Ireland.  

I have not seen anything on TV concerning Tartan Day.  (cry)   I was looking forward to at least watching something on the news about it.  Our local paper carried nothing.  I was a little upset. :{  Maybe an editorial would get their attention.
