Non-Clan Tartans

[AL-58]

I had an interesting experince today. We went to the Highland Gathering at Bundanoon (Bundanoon is Brigadoon). I chose to wear my "Heritage of Scotland" kilt, with black Ghillie shirt, belt, black leather Rob Roy sporran and bushwalking boots. A fine casual look.

What got me was the amount of people coming up and asking "what is that tartan?" as they liked the look of it. I guess most kilt wearers in OZ wear clan associated tartans so its just different. My Buchanan is different also as its much brighter than most tartans, but it's never got this much attention.

Has anyone else experienced this sort of thing because you were wearing a certain tartan?
