Someone needs to provide a "devil's advocate", so I suppose it might as well be me...

Now, let me just preface this with the statement that these are my own personal views -- I don't expect anyone else to follow them:

I will not wear a tartan that I do not have some connection to -- I like to have some sort of symbolic connection to a tartan through family, occupation, residence, organization, etc.

While there is no "right" to wear a tartan, as many have stated here, I do feel that there can be a special symbolism/attachment to a particular tartan for someone. The kilt is a symbolic garment, so I want the tartan I wear to be symbolic as well.

I know that's not necessarily a "popular" view, but I like "personal connection". But that's just me.

Regards,

Todd
