Wearing both ancient and modern

[Jock Scot]

Perfectly understandable and prudent as well, why pitch some thing that is perfectly suitable, just because it's colors are not new a flashy.

On another note however, the difference between clan and sept tartans. Forgive my ignorance, but I thought that as part of the greater clan, it was allowable to wear clan as well as sept. If sept y is part of clan X, why would there be a problem? Especially if the Sept was an important part of the greater clan?

If the sept has a tartan of its own, then it should wear that. There is no need to wear anything else.Anybody from the "greater clan" who knows their clan history will/should recognize the sept tartan as part of the "greater clan".

I think to many people are hung up on what tartan they should wear.What we should remember here is that there was no such thing as clan tartans pre 1800's.The clan tartans of today are modern tartans and the government tartans are a prime example.If you want to wear the kilt wear any one you like.Aye clan rivalries are a thing of the past but what I dislike about the Lindsay tartan is it's conection to the Black Watch.

There has been plenty of Black watch blood spilled just lately on yours and my behalf, so again I find your comments unnecessarily insulting.
