Where I live people don't know the difference between a Royal Stewart and a MacNeil tartan. Frankly, I've been kind of educating some folks around here. As far as they go is a tartan is a kilt, solid color is a skirt and they can't get past that. However, they're very militant on Dutch heritage. Every other person in this town is a Van something. I can pretty much get away with wearing any tartan that I like here and most have pretty well adjusted to the crazy Scot in their midst.
