Happy #TartanDay ! I have known I'm part of the Scots-Irish Burns sept of the Campbell clan for just over a year, after 40 years of secrecy. #Adoptees have a right to know their families and their histories. Make it legal for us to know who we are! #AdoptionIsTrauma #AdopteeRights

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.

since it's #TartanDay (seemingly an entirely made up thing, like the concept of clan tartans themselves), here's the tartan of my people, Russell (aka Galbraith)
Years ago I archived this project - Robert Bradford's mktartan — https://github.com/scruss/holestone-tartan - and it has lots of examples

OTD in 1320 lost letters written by the King of Scotland 🏴 Robert the Bruce and four Scottish Bishops, as well as the surviving ‘Declaration of Arbroath’ ⬇️ written by the Abbott of Arbroath and sealed by 51 Scottish nobles, were sent to Pope John XXII in response to his call for a truce in the first War of Scottish Independence from England.
