I have to admit, I feel a little odd wearing something not of my last name unless it's a location tartan (like Texas Bluebonnet). But at the same time, I recently discovered there is the possible link of McNeill/MacNeil in my family from the mid-1800's or so. I'm still trying to make sure it is correct and where they're from.

I also discovered the surname Grant on both my mother's side and my father's side. I'm not sure where they came from, but I'm very interested in learning.

Even though most of them were from the 1700's and mid 1800's, my family forgot about them and there is some confusion about our roots. I don't want to forget about them and I feel that if I do indeed discover more information about them, I may want to wear those tartans to honor my ancestors and remember them.

My last name is Griffith (I kept my last name when I married), and I know of the Welsh tartan for the Griffith surnames. I intend to get that one at some point, as well.
