Regardless of the history of tartan, or whether or not there are laws, I do not wear clan tartans other thatn the ones with which I have some connecttion. Out of both respect, and personal preference. There are a number of tartans considered "open" to all as welll as district tartans. (My personal favorite right now... the Xmarks tartan.)

This is a choice I have made for myself. However, I'm not one to pass judgement on others for wearing a specific tartan for their own reasons either.
