Sound advice. In my experience one is much less likely to be asked about entitlement and more what the tartan is.
Last week I was stopped by a gentleman in Sainsbury's store in Hereford who seemed to recognise the tartan I was wearing. I told him that it had been sold to me as "Black MacMillan" but that the Clan Chief had refused to recognise it and therefore because of the yellow it could also be known as "Hunting Buchanan" (no Clan Chief to say otherwise)! 
And why did he think he recognised it? He was a MacMillan!
