Matt's blog article is far better at explaining the history of said tartan; again, I don't necessarily believe the tartan is restricted to one particular faith either; in fact, the majority of clergy I know who are active in Scottish organizations & events wear tartans associated with their own particular clans & families.
Since I am not ordained, but only "lay clergy" (a lay eucharistic minister & sub-deacon under warrant from our bishop), I really don't have a dog in the hunt either.
