    If you are not planning to go to a clan gathereing then I don't think it would matter too much.

    I have a Hunting Maclean just because I liked it. I'm not planning on a clan gathering. Whats more I still have a lot of choices

    Co Fermanagh (My father is from there)
    Irish Diaspora (Irish blood Tartan)
    Hunting Macleod (My Surname is a Sept)
    Irish National

    And these are just 4 of the Tartans that are on my list that I have a connection with There's load I just like too.

    So get that Muir and have fun

    My father's family are also Irish. County Tyrone, hence my use of Jer "Mc" as a screen name. I am also considering other tartans as well. Like I said above I have seen it said many times that it doesn't really matter. I guess I am a member of Clan MacNeil of Canada at least the sent me the latest newsletter on Friday. The quote about they not caring, came directly from , the clan chief.

    Anthony, you have a fine connection to the Muir tartan, go for it. Being adopted (some say a remaining form of slavery) is as close as being a sept of a clan.

    If you're not already aware of it check out a great "uppity" adoptive rights website www.bastards.org

    A Muir tartan kilt would look great with their t shirt.
