tartan advice

[ctbuchanan]

Micah - I've been involved in the Clan Buchanan Society International for decades as a Commissioner and member of the Executive Council. Our Clan has no Chief so I suppose the Society is as close as there is to an arbiter of questions like this. And I can say with certainty that it would be very appropriate for you to wear any of the Buchanan tartans as I am certain that you would do it with respect and pride.

CT, thank you. I imagine that is as close to an official ruling as I could hope for. I undertand the
Position a lot of people take on wear what you want but that's just not for me. My purpose in wearing
a kilt is familial pride. Thank you again everyone for your help.

The whole idea of "clan tartans" is relatively recent anyhow. Going back, tartans were designed purely to be attractive (each weaving being unique, and the designs having no significance) and our ancestors chose whichever patterns were available and appealed to them.

So, I would wear whichever patterns appeal to you.

I would follow the above advice. There is no right or wrong, unless it is a restricted tartan.
