I quite understand that you feel that you should not be bound by those obligations, and from your point of view, that's fair enough. Just don't expect some Scots to view it that way.
Jock, my friend, I realize that very well. That's exactly why I won't wear any family or clan tartan that I don't have blood ties to. The only Scottish clan /family tartan I will wear is MacLeod. I'll wear my state tartan, I'll wear my Irish family tartan- but only one clan tartan. I realize that more than a few people will take issue with me on this- but tough. Not to put too fine a point on it...
