My feelings are similar to Mael Coluim's. My first kilts were in my surname's clan tartans. When I wanted to get more kilts (thanks to being on XMTS), I went to the Maple Leaf and my provincial tartan. Still, my tie to my clan feels stronger. How my progeny will choose, I don't know; I'll be happy if they at least wear the kilt!
