Questions about Flashes and other "Accessories"

[unixken]

Without wishing to hijack this thread, how would that apply to someone like myself; I have no clan affiliation, yet when I have gone kilted to formal events (weddings usually), my partner has insisted that I wear a MacLean kilt pin on my Manx tartan.

Our U.S. members will likely understand this more, but imagine that you lived on the West Virginia and Kentucky state line, in the USA, right after the civil war, and you wore a Hatfield crest with your McCoy kilt.

You, yourself, may not have the slightest problem with it. But rather than picking one or the other and only upsetting half of Appalachia, you mixed the two and angered both sides.
