Is X Marks the Scot a Clan?

I like that too Kid Cossack.

I also totally agree with ChromeScholar.

My link with Scotland and the Scots is through living in Scotland as a child, many visits since, and great friendships. I have never felt the need to see if I have any blood ties because I am very happy with the culture I was brought up in and any blood ties would never feel as strong as the experiences I have had in my life that draw me to Scotland and the kilt.

Now the suggestion of an xmarks clan, should it come to fruition, is so inviting I find myself thinking for the first time about getting a kilt made from a tartan that belongs to a clan I actually belong to.

Now I know how you guys feel

If the definition of a clan is a group united by a common interest or common characteristics, then we are one whether we like it or not. There are no rules about clans or tartans so why do people have to tell us what we can or can't do?
We can be a clan if we want to, or we can just have fun talking about it. We are as free as the dandelion.
