Another thing to bear in mind is that just because a tartan has a clan name does not make it a clan tartan. For instance the tartan I'm wearing in the pic in this thread http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=21083 is called Montgomery. However, it is not the official Montgomery Clan tartan.

I always though that that was the Montgomery Anicent Tartan
Ancient tartan means that it is the same colors and sett as the regular tartan, just lighter (like it's old and faded). Mine is listed with the STA as Montgomery VS and is only two colors as apposed to Montgomery (Clan) which has four colors (and a very different sett).
I pulled this off of THE Clan MacKenzie website...it is about who can wear their tartan-
Is your surname Mackenzie, or a variation of this name? , or Is your surname among those Septs of the Clan Mackenzie below?, or Are you related to a Mackenzie or any of the Sept surnames below?, or Are you sympathetic to the Clan Mackenzie Society's aims and activities and interested in the history of the famous Clan Mackenzie?
