No, there's not. My question is based on some of the comments I occasionally see on other threads, in which people express some vehemence about "who can wear that tartan."

Again, given that today's clan organizations are nothing like they were two hundred plus years ago, I'm trying to understand the mindset behind the attitude.

Personally, I can trace a lineage to Ulster Scotts and then to McDonalds of Keppoch and ClanRanald, if I want.

However, (like most people on these boards) I'm firmly in the school of "Wear what you want, just know what you're wearing."
