As I've wandered around these forums to which I am new, the question of uaffiliated tartans has come up a number of times. That is, the question of which tartans have no clan affiliation and are 'free' for wear by anyone.

Now to some it seems, the question is pointless - all tartans are free for wear and most Scots don't have a problem with it. Other however are genuinely concerned since (and perhaps I can't speak for everyone) wearing the tartan of a clan to which you have no claim is like wearing a uniform for a military unit you have not fought or worked in.

My own natural tendency is to side with the latter, but more and more I hear people telling me it really isn't an issue of concern, and one should just choose a tartan for its aesthetic qualities.

Here's what I'd like to know:

1 - On this issue - are you: 'Free for all', 'Stick with your own', or 'Undecided'?

2 - Once and for all - for those who care - what are officially unaffiliated tartans? Perhaps we can create a list here that people can check.
