Hello all. Been reading the forum for sometime to learn more about the kilting life but, being mostly of the Irish persuasion, I have been reluctant to jump into the Scot's pool. After learning something new (to me) yesterday, decided to wade in and learn more. I already have one question and look forward to some feedback, so here it goes.

...turns out one of my paternal ancestors (Conn of the Hundred Battles) had a line that made the leap into Scotland, eventually feeding into a couple clans, including the MacQueen. Sounding much like my surname, Quinn, if you grit your teeth a bit and add the old "son of"...So my question is this "can" I "officially" wear the MacQueen tartan or would some sort of direct lineage be required? Ok, so it might be a stretch but thought I would ask.
