    I too have seen this written and indeed spoken about from time to time, but I have always considered it as a prime example of, " tourist board clap-trap".

    Completely agree with Jock and paulhenry.
    I really think that most Scots are not seriously bothered about about who wears which tartan - yes, it's quite nice to have a "reason" but "entitlement" is not that important. So, in the case of adoption, choices can be quite relaxed.

    Thanks for the happy memory you just gave me Jock. My dear departed father used to use the phase "clap-trap" whenever something was said that was out of kilter.
