I wear my 'entitled' Clan tartan (Gunn) with great pride, in two versions: Ancient colours and Weathered colours. Unfortunately, the Modern colours version is dull and somewhat uninteresting to my mind and so I choose not to wear it.

Additionally, I like to pay my respect to other clans and their chiefs, by wearing their tartans with the same pride as I wear my own. Those tartans are, however, added to my Kilt Kollection not because of any historical links or ties, but because I am attracted to the colours that form them, nothing more.

I wear the Canadian Maple Leaf tartan with pride, because I like the colouring, although I have no blood connections with that nation. I wear the district tartan of Nithsdale, again because I like the colours (within Scotland, Nithsdale and the traditional 'Gunn' lands in Sutherland could hardly be further apart!).

My respect is paid equally to all tartans, except perhaps the disastrously over-commercialised ones, which have already lost all serious respect!
