I am beating another part of a dead horse!

I was perusing some older threads to try to find the answer to a question and I came across this thread.

http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...0/index10.html

It got me to thinking.

I have not fully decided on where I fall but I am leaning towards only wearing tartans of my bloodlines.

so the question:

Would you wear a tartan of a clan that would not have you as a member even if you are related by blood?

Ie I have a Maclean from about 8 generations back. My interpretation of their membership requirements is that it must be within 3 generations. (same as the MacGregor

Would yall say to heck with them? or would you move on?

Also I fall under the category who likes to ask the clan if it is ok. what would yall do if they do not respond? or you can not find a link to an association (ie MacQueen)

Just bouncing ideas

I know some are wear only one, and others are wear what you want, and there are not rules or tartan police.

I guess I am looking for a rational to apply, and a set of logic.

thanks!
