Wearing the Family Tartan

[Mael Coluim]

Hello there, new to the community here.

i'm sure you've probably heard this before, but i'm researching my family tree and i am half scot (well, scottish-canadian) and interested in the family tartan

I was wondering, if one were to get a kilt of the family tartan and/or crest, is there any protocol that would have to be followed? like, would i have to contact the clan chief or something so that it's okay or is it couth to just go ahead and wear it anyway?

also, anyone from Clan McCallum/Malcolm around here? ;)

Aye, a Malcolm, here! Wear both with pride. You need not request permission.

Would that be the same Duntrune Castle which is reportedly haunted by a ghost piper?
