The general opinion seems to be that you can wear whatever you like, but you better have a good back story and not over-explain. "Yes, the tartan is in my family" will likely do you much better than trying to explain what you have here - overdone somewhat.
On the flip side, there are those (among whom I group myself) who say "Why would you wear somebody else's name tag?" Your tartan is your tartan - it's not a matter of liking it or not, it's who you are or claim to be. Under this school of thought, I'd personally no more wear another clan's tartan, no matter how somewhat affiliated, than I would wear my uncle's name-tag. I'm not him.
Now, over to the Rabble.
