I am not a great fan of tartan - not the designs as such, but the nonsensical rubbish surrounding its history which is basically genealogical bubblegum.
However, this raised a smile - the Scottish Register of Tartans has now registered a tartan design for the fictitious Clan McPeek, characters in an adult Scottish fairy tale created by Jack Sullivan. If you're going to wear a clan tartan, this is a good one to go for, and as genuine in its historical provenance as any other!
To see the design visit www.tartanregister.gov.uk/tartanDetails.aspx?ref=10188.
