Tartan.net
Looking for your thoughts on this one please.

What will it be used for? How can it be monetized?

I would imagine its best suited to ecommerce selling tartan products and possibly other related scottish goods. There are plenty of company's with tartan in the brand name also.
Google keyword tool reports
40500 search per month global from U.S (exact)
Low competition
I also feel this is better in top level domain than a cctld as there is a worldwide market which could be fed from the uk.

Lots of people have family connections which fosters an interest in Scottish/Irish heritage
On top of that the U.S celebrates a tartan day and the Dalai Lama has had a peace tartan designed for him. Although I'm not sure I would consider him an end user for this

shame it's the .net. Obviously the .com or even in this case for heraidic purposes the .org would be good.

It's not a subject for the UK market south of the boarder (which your aware) and I'm pretty sure there would already be some good established sites out there with a Global presence. So one of those sort of domains I would be happy to leave at somewhere like Sedo, pitched at around US$1k and forget about

Thanks for your input Bailey, had a mid to high $xxx offer previously but held out for more and never heard back.
