I hear you, Mac. I was just pursuing a thread called "Family ties to multiple Clans". It wasn't up long before it was closed abruptly by the OP, but it provoked the same thoughts in me. I appreciate that you approached the situation delicately by using a well though out illustration.
I believe that there is a tendency to over think how we, in this modern world, intigrate with our clan heritage, especially in regards to how we might choose to honor our heritage. Clan society as it was in a medieval and emerging Scotland is nothing like it is today. And... the clans of today, world wide, are nothing like the past, even in Scotland.
Thank you for posting your thoughts.

Simon Fraser fought as MacShimidh, a Highland chief… wrapped and belted in a plaid over the top of his linen shirt, like his ordinary kinsmen. He put a bonnet on his head, and stuck the Fraser emblem, a sprig of yew, in it. With the battle cry, A'Chaisteal Dhunaidh and the scream of the pipes, they charged to battle. "The Last Highlander" Sara Fraser
