Tartan-wearing conventions among Scots

The whole idea about wearing a tartan is that you're, intentionally or otherwise, identifying with a clan. Feel free to wear what you like, I say. If I saw somebody in one of the many Fraser kilts who wasn't either a Fraser or from one of the associated septs, I'd still call them a brother or sister if they wanted me to!

I often thought of getting a Fraser kilt, though I'm not a Fraser. My reason is that I spent almost 15 years reenacting Fraser's Highlanders from both the French and Indian War and the American Revolution so feel I have a certain connection. But since kilts are expensive, I've settled for just wearing a couple of Fraser tartan ties.
