Allowed tartans

[TheKiltedWonder]

However, I disagree with your comments about treason. I don't know of any chief that requires modern-day clansmen to swear fealty to them.

Sorry, I didn't mean that such feelings were treasonous or that most clan members swore fealty in that manner. I was replying to this assertion:

They go on to say the wearing of the tartan means that the wearer gives their allegiance to the chief. Allegiance is a duty of fidelity said to be owed by a subject or a citizen to his state or sovereign. In that sense it represents the feudal liege homage, which could be due only to one lord. So much for wearing more than one clan's tartan.

I just felt that such "allegiance", that which mimiced the fidelity of a citizen to a state, would be a bit over the top. Not to disrespect the clan chiefs, but carrying it that far would be a bit much.
