The events of 1776 have nothing to do with it. As I mentioned in the first version of this thread, two republics, South Africa (readmitted to the Commonwealth in '94) & Ireland both have heraldic traditions & agencies which regulate heraldry.

Also, the simple fact that the idea of a restricted clan/family tartans (or the Balmoral tartan) was designed after 1776 negates this arguement.
