Can I wear the McPherson Clan Tartan

[NewEnglander]

Welcome from a MacPherson! Thanks for the compliments on the clan tartan. As you saw above I have a kilt from B&S in the Muted MacPherson and I also have a casual kilt from USA Kilts in the MacPherson Hunting. If you head over to the clan website and take a look through the galleries I think you'll see that the hunting tartan is worn most often back in Scotland (hopefully Cousin Kyle or someone else more experienced can confirm that). Personally I'm about to order a semi-traditional kilt in the red tartan from USAK.
I think writing to Cluny to ask for his leave to wear the clan tartan is a fine and respecting thing to do. If you don't hear a back from the Chief himself himself, you might also write you the Australian branch of the Clan MacPherson Association.
Good luck and be sure to share pics of whichever kilt you wear.
Slainté!
