Mothers Tartan?

[Tim Little]

I'm sure you'll hear from those who are more expert in these matters than I, but I believe the gentleman is incorrect. My understanding is that traditionally one wears the tartan of one's father's family.

That said, there's no reason NOT to wear the tartan of your mother's side, grandparents, etc. I, for example, wear the Mackenzie tartan in honor of my paternal grandmother.

Tim,

I have moved your post to the Tartans & Heraldry forum where I think it is a better fit.

Cheers
