I remember years ago that the then Chief of Clan MacMillan went to the trouble of having kilts made in MacMillan Hunting, Ancient Colours, at a time when nobody had ever seen that take on the tartan. The idea was that this would be the "official" tartan of the Chief and his family... What can I say. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and at the next clan gathering virtually everybody was wearing the Chief's tartan...
