I came across this tartan just browsing some links and wanted to know more about it.

I can't get an image of the tartan to show here, but hers the link to an image.. http://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/tar....aspx?ref=5760

I was wondering if this tartan was just a fashion tartan, worn by anyone, or was it something that has a basis in history? I'm an American who's ancestor came here prior to the revolutionary war. So it shouldn't matter what tartan I wear, but since learning about what tartan means and about my ancestral tartan, and family (Buchanan), I do care for whatever reason.

I guess even if its a fashion tartan I would be hesitant to wear it, but the Buchanan colors are so bright, and certain situations are more somber. I guess that's odd?
