prohibited tartans

[Moski]

Does anyone know if any clan chief has prohibited the use of his clan tartan for anyone not a member by blood or birth ? I hear a lot of individual opinion but nothing from any chiefs or person in authority . Not to begrudge anyone their opinion but I'm kinda looking for the final word.

Clan Maitland has such a prohibition:

Wasn't there another thread started yesterday on this exact same topic? I can't find it now for some reason, but in my reply there I stated that the McKerrell tartan is restricted in this manner by the cheif of the clan, Madam McKerrell of Hillhouse.

I had a somewhat longer reply on the other thread, but don't really feel inclined to retype it. Anyone know what happened to that thread?

McKerrell ? Is that not a type of fish ?

"Madam" McKerrell ? Is that the same as Mrs McKerrell to us common, floor-spitting, nose-picking peasant folk ? Or is she a “madame” of a high-class establishment in New Orleans ?

And would you find it amusing if someone made the same remarks about your wife?

I am very good friends with Hillhouse and his charming wife. I find your post in quite bad taste. It adds nothing to this discussion.

I agree with Matt and Sandy.
But I have a question: which one of them (him or her) is the chief? Matt says her; the website (dated 2003) says him.

Back to the tartans now...

Charles McKerrell of Hillhouse is the chief.
