I'm of the opinion that you can wear whatever takes your fancy (as long as it is not a restricted tartan). However, if you wear another clan's tartan then please know a little bit about it & wear it with honour and dignity.
As for myself, I'm with Ron (Riverkilt) in that since I have a number of known & researched family connections to the Highlands & Islands of Scotland, I'd feel a bit unease at wearing another clan's tartan that I have no connection to.
As I'm very connected to the Clan Donald through genealogy, I find that wearing that clan's tartan(s) is more than sufficient for me.
I also agree with Jock that if you intend to wear another clan's tartan that it would be the courteous (& proper) thing to do to ask permission (rather you receive a reply or not).
I hope this helps in some small way.
