It truly matters not what tartan you wear, with the exception of 'Balmoral' which is reserved solely for our British Royal Family's personal use. With the proviso that you treat and wear that tartan with respect; that you take the trouble to learn its origins and, if it has one, its meaning - the reasons for the colours used in it. It might also be a considerate step to take if you were to write to the Clan Chief and explain that you wish to wear his/her tartan, giving your reasons - such a request is most unlikely to be refused.
I proudly wear my Clan tartan, Gunn, in two variations - Ancient and Weathered, but I am equally at ease wearing any of the other four Clan tartans, or thirteen regional/national tartans in my Kilt Kollection.
