OK a little background (pour yourself a port).
I am a McLean, but not by birth. My mother remarried when I was 3 to an American (McLean) but I was born Swedish (also German). My dad adopted me (hence the official McLean last name). But here is the next twist, My grandfather on my dads side, was adopted into the McLean as well, so far the story is sketchy (I actually started digging up this summer). But his parents are a McLean/Stewart. So, whats in a name as I am clearly not bloodline related? Have been interested in Scot history and family line kilt, but was too lazy/broke to pursue. Now I am looking into things (it is a distraction from my PhD studies) and even made my first kilt (modern XKilt) and have a 2nd in the works (again Xkilt in Green Duck cloth with Gold underpleats... USF colors) but not certain if I qualify to wear the McLean tartan now, as I will eventually make a dress kill in McLean, but not going to spend the money if I made a clan faux pas.
