Can I wear

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

I apologize for the slight rabbit trail I'm introducing. It's been mentioned that the Stewart Tartan is considered a universal one. I'm under the impression that's the Royal Stewart that is being disussed.

Thanks!

Royal Stewart and "Black" Stewart are both regarded as "universal tartans".

Once you get 1, you have 2 in the parents generation, 4, then 8, then 16, 32, 64 possibilities by that persons great-great-great-great-grandparents, just 6 generations give quite a few possible clans, and whos to say you don't have a various clan in there somewhere....)
