Laird's Plaid & Tweed Jacket - Puffer

....for the sake of information, it would be perfetctly correct for me to wear my Crawford tartan kilt with a Lindsay plaid since we are a sept of the Lindsay's?

You might want to read this statement from the Clan Crawford Association's web site:

Unfortunately this has led to the recent misunderstanding (primarily in the Southeastern US) that the Crawford surname is a sept of Clan Lindsay, which according to the Lyon Court is inherently inappropriate, in stark disagreement with the more accurate and appropriate Clan Lindsay International and Clan Lindsay Australia who acknowledge merely an ally relationship. Regardless of competing unsupported claims, the Lyon Court recognizes the Crawford surname as an independent armigerous House with a Senior Line (unofficial Chiefs) having for centuries registered Arms showing no differencing [except internal to cadets of the House and an honorary augmentation] or allegiance to another clan, house, or surname, this being the ultimate legal test of independence (not a sept). Nevertheless, we do appreciate a fellowship of parity from any clan or association.

Thank you. I had no idea we had our own Association - for years I have been told about the sept business. Wonder how that got started?
