2. I would consider wearing someone elses tartan poaching and offensive. So the only possible clan tartans I have are Blackwatch which I think is a regiment and Gordan. They are both Sport Kilt Comfys that I kickaround the house in. Are these two tartans clan or generic?

Thanks in advance for chewing on this one. Chuck
Chuck,

According to this thread, because you are not a Scot living in Scotland (Highlands preferred) you should NEVER wear the kilt...

Or...

You can wear whatever the Sam Hill you want to...

Or...you must wear only the tartan which you have close ancestral connection to--that being said, your GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGrand Step Grandfather who was adopted by a man or woman with a Scottish sounding name is considered an appropriate ancestral connection.

Or...something in between


Hope that was clear ;)
