Tartan Etiquette

[A Lenape Scot]

The is what my Chief (James C A Burnett of Leys) says, "I am often asked as to who can wear our Burnett tartan. There is much mumbo jumbo about wearing tartan, and I always advise people if they like a particular tartan then wear it whatever the surname! It is flattering when someone wishes to wear Burnett tartan and I am pleased to permit it with my blessing as Chief."

I have no idea what our Chief's (John Shaw of Tordarroch) position is on the matter.

A real gentleman and I was delighted to talk with him when fishing his water on the Dee. Never discussed tartan, however, as he was more interested in the prospects of catching a salmon.
