heh, As mentioned upthread there are no tartan police and many members here will wear what they please just as historical highlanders would have. That said, some non tartan enthusiasts (read obsessives?) will probably look at you a little sideways if you wear patterns that you do not have or 'feel' connected to and if that would bother you then I suggest you stick to those tartans which you do feel or can claim a connection to and wear them with pride. That is what, I would say, the vast majority of tartan wearers do.
