As a MacRanald of the Keppoch branch of Macdonell's/Macdonald's, I'm with my Macdonald cousins on this. There is no reason why you cannot wear just about any of the Clan Donald tartans that take your fancy.
All any of us ask is learn a wee bit about the history of the tartan/family/clan you are wearing, since you will no doubt be asked by someone "what tartan is that /why are you wearing it?".....especially *if* your in Campbell Country!
I concur with the other Macdonalds....please wear it...I mean you cant go wrong with anything pertaining to the Clan Donald.
Dang, I thought we'd already done that ourselves....
I'm guessing if you were to be able to investigate all the branches of your family tree you'd find a Macdonald lurking out there somewhere.
Perhaps wearing the tartan will encourage him to emerge.
Wear, enjoy, stand proud.

The MacDonald Clanranald MUTED has always struck me as a fantastic tartan. I made this deal with myself... if a customer orders a 5 yard wool kilt in this tartan, I will get enough to make one for myself. THIS MORNING someone ordered it:
Guess I have to honor my word and order enough to make myself one too. Shucks.
