We have to be very careful on subjects like this, lest we run afoul of board rules. But yes, it's possible that someone could be offended by seeing the Black Watch tartan worn to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. As O'Callaghan mentioned, this is a military tartan, and the Black Watch does have a bit of history in representing the British government's interests during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. It's not overly likely that anyone in your area will know or care about the connection, but it is indeed possible that someone could see you wearing that tartan and take the wrong message from it.
