Guthries Assist with New Minnesota Tartan 

The Minnesota State Senate approved the designs for the Minnesota Tartan and Dress Tartan on Feb. 4, 2002.  The design was a gift to the people of Minnesota from the Minnesota Tartan Day Cooperative, a group of 14 Scottish
Organizations in the State,  The design team consists of Mark
Osweiler, Designer; Mary Libhardt, Nydia Osweiler, Kelly Bray and Richard Cady, Design Team Members (pictured below).

The colors represent the people, land and character of Minnesota.  They are blue, for "water that reflects the sky" the meaning of the name Minnesota; green for the Norway Pine and conservation of forests and fields; pink for the Showy Lady Slipper and the heart of the people, black and white for the Loon; gold for fall colors and the golden opportunities found in Minnesota.

Clan Guthrie-USA is a "full-service" fraternal organization. We participate in Scottish highland festivals around the country, offer catalog sales of Guthrie merchandise, publish a quarterly newsletter, sponsor special events such as our tours to Scotland in 1991 and 1996, and maintain a Guthrie family genealogy database.

The goal of our website is to offer Guthries far and wide a chance to communicate, learn more about our heritage and, with the help of the World Wide Web, make the world our oyster.

If there are any specific web site suggestions you might have, please feel free to let us know.
