I agree entirely with MacFett.

In a discussion along these lines, I always wonder about all the folks it Excludes;

Those with no known clan, or known district tartan.
Are they doomed to wander around in some generic thing all their lives?...limited by some percieved convention?
H---! Life's too short for that!
Get a tartan you like or feel any connection to; Wear it with respect and Wear it Well!

I can't help but think this discussion could draw out a little bit of 'elitism;...amongst those few of us that actually have tartans. After all, most tartans are fairly modern anyway.
Again, wear it, and wear it Well!

All the best,

Mic.
