Was Tartan ever actually banned?

Todd,

I'm with you, brother. I've started lumping this sort of thing under the category of "I reject your researched and well-documented information because it does not fit with my romantic notions..." Also included in this file:

1. Sgian dubhs cannot be returned to their sheath without having drawn blood.
2. The number of colors in a tartan denote social standing of the wearer.
3. Each color used in a tartan should mean something ("blue is for the swift-flowing clear waters which crisscross our state, green is for the lush green grass that grows on the ground, blah, blah, blah...")
4. "My clan's tartan" dates back to Robert the Bruce, William Wllace, etc.
5. Every surname has a tartan.
Ad nauseum

Just like how EVERY European decended family can trace their direct surname family back to a crest/coat of arms!... I love the interwebz
