'Tartan For Everyone' is pretty useless as any kind of authority for a great many surnames that are found in Scotland but that are not Scottish. One swallow does not make a summer and TFM should be read with a large dose of scepticism. By all means wear the Aberdeen tartan, or any other that takes your fancy but without tracing you own family's roots it would be wrong to assume that they came from Abdrdeenshire.
