With great caution lest I offend, as a priest, I acknowledge that our faith is based on history, both oral and written, and also indeed on the written versions of oral history.
I have to agree that so much of history needs to be studied ever so carefully and interpreted in context before we can ever know the true story. Further, history is written not only by the victors in war but also the victors in historiography - the study of how history came to be written.
Thus I would suggest that the stories of various tartans, although much more recent, will need to be studied carefully before attribution of any sort is made.
