As you have asked Colin, most traditional kilt wearing Scots wear one family/Clan tartan and usually the tartan of their father.
To wear more than one Clan tartan would almost instantly raise the thought of “ more money than sense” in most of their minds and the second thought would be “ how brash/vulgar”. Showing off ones wealth(that is how it’s percieved) is not regarded as a merit here. The minority with wealth in the Highlands are very well aware of this and do make efforts “not to rub people’s nose in it”.
Well, you did ask.
