Distant Scottish Connections - how to honour it?

"It was my grannie's tartan"

What he said. I actually do wear my grannie's tartan.

If you like the idea of wearing tartan - pick something you like and just go for it.

As Steve highlights there are tartans that would reflect your Scottish and Canadian heritage - maybe that sits better in terms of justifying wearing it, but beyond asking what the tartan is most people will not question why you are wearing it and no-one will check your credentials.

It's worth keeping in mind that most of the traditions (and for that matter many tartans) are actually fairly recent inventions and a lot of the rules are somewhat bogus if you start to dig into it.
