I just went over to the MacKenzie Clan website
http://www.clan-mackenzie.org.uk/clan/mackenzie.html
Here is what they say on the front page about wearing the tartan:
-----------------------------------------

Charles

Clunies
Cross
Iverach

Kenneth
Kennethson
Kinnach

Macaweeney
MacBeolain

MacIver
MacIvor
MacKenna
MacKenney
MacKerlich
MacKinna
MacKinney
MacKinnie

MacQueenie
MacThearliach
MacVanish

NB There are several variations in the spelling of the name Mackenzie, i.e. MacKenzie, McKenzie, Macenzie, McEnzie, Makenzie, MaKenzie, M'Kenzie, Kenny, Kenney, MacKenny, MacKenney, McKenny, McKenney, Mackinzie, McKinzie, MacKinney, McKinney &c, they are accepted as Septs or variations of the Mackenzie Clan name. Often in centuries past it was the local Monk or Minister who could read and write and who also decided on the spelling of people's names when entering Baptism, Marriage or Burial records. So when writing an unfamiliar name it had to be written as it sounded and misspellings would often occur especially when the informant had a strong accent. If you are not sure that your name was derived from "Mackenzie" or a Sept name then please do ask us.
If your name is Mackenzie, one of the above Sept names or a variation then you are entitled to wear the Clan Mackenzie Tartan.
-----------------------------------------
Now given that I would say that it is not a Universal tartan, however you could write them for permission, or go out and get it for yourself, if you feel comfortable doing that.
