I have no problem wearing my Irish Tartan here in Ireland...in fact most of the time people go "Oh!! How many are there?" So I reply there are 64 as there are two designs for every county, then there are all manner of Family, Provincial and other tartans. They may not be traditional and historic but as you can see they can look look and have a meaning to the wearer.
