The Jacobite tartan is the tartan of Galicia, Asturias and Catalunya and is believed to have originated in Barcelona. I have much ancestry from Galicia, which is where my family name is from. They are one of the seven Celtic nations and the one believed to be where the Irish came from. Actually, one of my Galician ancestors was an Irish immigrant. I don't know why I never thought to look it up before. My dad told me we had a tartan but I thought he was making it up. It's not as loud as my husband's, but not as pretty either. Ah well. Mine's nice for autumn, his is nice for winter. I'm so superficial.
