Or again, he can wear Black Watch with his Sutherland regalia, as we use it as of our clan tartans (Sutherland Hunting) as well. But I digress.
Actually, there is historical provenance of Clan nobility wearing multiple clan articles at one time, much to the chagrin of the modern kilt police. One prime example was the Chief of clan Wemyss, who's mother was the only daughter of the then Earl of Sutherland. Not only did he wear the accouterments of both clans, he went so far as to carpet the entire castle of Wemyss with the Sutherland tartan. Of course many will be aware that it was Gen. William Wemyss of Wemyss who raised the Sutherland Highlanders regiment.
