I didn't mean to belittle anybody's feelings of attachment to what they regard as their heritage but to encapsulate all of this in a length of material to the exclusion of others simply on the strength of a name is something I disagree with. How can such exclusivity as posted here come to terms with walking on a carpet in your tartan or sitting on a rug in your tartan? The tartans I wear are Galbraith through family but also Lindsay because I inherited it from my in-laws and know they would be proud I choose to wear it even though I have no claim to any connection with that clan.
