Real life tartan police?

[macwilkin]

I googled the Clan Little Society's web page. This is what it has to say about the Little tartan:

No one has knowledge of the original design of the "ancient tartan" or if one ever existed. This design is a modification of the Wallace and Shepherd Setts designed in 1991 by Dr.J.C. Little of Dumfries, for the newly organized Clan Little Society.

It's quite possible that the Little society "restricts" the sale of the tartan to society members only -- I believe the Clan Young used to do so (although I think that has changed) and I'm pretty sure the Maitlands do.

Note the reference to the "ancient tartan", which is a little disconcerting...

Cheers,

Todd
