    I would submit that since your family was absorbed into the Sleat clan so long ago, that you are Clan MacDonald of Sleat. End of story with an easy solution with regards to what tartan you should wear.
    Clan tartans are meant to be recognized, and identify the wearer. A new tartan would not do that.
    Just my opinion, of course, to be taken for whatever it's worth.

    You could start with the Clan Donald USA, but I think it would have to end up with the agreement from The High Council of Clan Donald

Of the 5 kilts I possess, you've made 4 of them (by the way, I'm going to be ordering a couple more from you in the coming months)...lol....and I don't see any reason to discontinue that trend.
    Gladly. Just let me know when you're ready and we can have the cloth woven and make the kilt.
