Sir Malcolm MacGregor has made it plain that the tartan often called Hunting MacGregor is really MacGregor of Cardney and should only be worn by those descended of that household, though it is easily obtained with no special permission in modern, ancient and weathered colours. As the story is told, the knowledge of this tartan's history as reported by Sir Malcolm's father was ignored by one of the Tartan Societies(?) recording such things and thus ended up as a common tartan.

You can find the Chiefs letters on the MacGregor website here.
