To some it is a BIG deal, make no mistake. Have a look at my old threads and find "Food For Thought" and "F4T2" . Ok a Scots view and possibly not a majority point of view, but a point of view none the less.

In my view, the Canadian (in particular the Nova Scotian) view corresponds to Jock's...

Interesting, but I was only using the 78th Fraser Highlanders as an example of a soldier wearing a clan tartan that isn't his Chief's. It's just a coincidence that you're a (non Lovat) Fraser...

Jock, I always appreciate your wisdom.
However, I think people get into trouble when they apply a rule developed for one circumstance ( one kilt, maybe two) to an entirely different mindset ( a closet full of them). Surely, if I want a single kilt and I have a real connection to one clan, I ought to wear that clan's tartan. But if I want ten kilts, I really ought to give up on ten yearning, burning strong associations. It's a little like the distinction between serial monogamy and promiscuity, isn't it?

I think that I have said on more than one occassion that; " the choice is entirely down to the indiviual". However I can give you my Scots slant on the situation, what others choose to do is completely out of my hands!

Yes, and those "yearnings" should be directed at non-clan tartans.

Quite. Although I fail to see where the "serial" applies.

Because somebody might be a supporter, fan, friend or just like the name, colours...
There are many reasons.

Not the same thing. At all. But some don't get that - some just don't understand. One of life's unsolved mysteries.
