Adam,

If you want to wear a tartan that you have some entitlement to, and your surname can be traced back to Cornwall, there is a very nice Cornish Hunting Tartan that you could wear without worrying about entitlement.

Of course there is nothing to stop you wearing almost any other tartan if you like it.
