Mixing tartans - yes or no?

[Jock Scot]

Thank you Rex, I have wondered how it all worked. I look up at Torcastle(it has a grisly reputation) when wetting a line, quite often and have a smile at how the Mackintosh of Torcastle obtained his title from the Camerons.

I do as well, Jock, but the smile is even broader when I recall that this was Lord Lyon's tsk tsk at the Camerons for having caused the government (and the Clan Chattan) so much grief over the centuries.

Since I possess only one kilt, not in a clan tartan, I am unlikely to transgress in the area of mixing tartans of different clans.
That said, I do have ties in three tartans (my regimental Graham of Montrose, Jacobite and one matching my kilt), but I have no desire to wear either the Graham or the Jacobite with my kilt.
My first two outings with the kilt were pretty formal, so I wore the matching tie with black shirt and black hose, plus tartan flashes.
But this weekend I have gone more informal, wearing the kilt with green hose (the pair I have on right now are pale grass-green, worn with a white shirt, and yesterday I wore hose in khaki green with a shirt of similar shade) and red flashes. (I could have worn green flashes instead.)
I would be interested to hear whether anyone has an opinion on my choice of bonnet badge. I ordered a St Andrew badge from Tartanweb in January, showing the saint holding his cross, and within a strap and buckle.
It struck me as being appropriate to my tartan, which symbolises the Christian Faith.
Initially I wore it with some blue ribbon (a rosette for Scotland), but last week I cut a square of the tartan to put behind it.
