Which tartan to ware?

[Kilted Stuart]

The house of Stuart is fairly large if history is written right. I only know what tartans my family is suppost to wear (black Stuart, Hunting and Royal) with the ever present question mark of the Royal. I was told from a very young age what to wear and to be proud of it. They are called The Black, Royal and Hunting Stuart for a reason. They are Stuart clan tartans hence the Stuart name. I know a lot of people wear the Black Watch and many of the vast amount of Stuart and Stewart tartans. Alot of tartans are based off the Royal Stuart and Black Watch tartans.

There is always debate about the Royal and who can wear it. Some wear it because it looks good. I'm not sure that the Queen is going to be too upset if I here in Fergus wear it. If I have to wait like some people and wait for a king or a phone call to give me permission, well it seems a little funny. I've only ever had negative comments from older Scots. I bet it's one of the biggest rental kilts out there for people of non Scotish heritage going to weddings etc.

I don't wear the Royal often and never the hunting. I prefer the Black Stuart and I wear the Black Watch often too because I like it and for my great grandfather David Stuart
( we could have been identical twins) for whom I was named.
A lot of people wear anything they like. That seems fine to me.
