| | | prohibited tartans
Does anyone know if any clan chief has prohibited the use of his clan tartan for anyone not a member by blood or birth ? I hear a lot of individual opinion but nothing from any chiefs or person in authority . Not to begrudge anyone their opinion but I'm kinda looking for the final word.

Wasn't there another thread started yesterday on this exact same topic? I can't find it now for some reason, but in my reply there I stated that the McKerrell tartan is restricted in this manner by the cheif of the clan, Madam McKerrell of Hillhouse.
I had a somewhat longer reply on the other thread, but don't really feel inclined to retype it. Anyone know what happened to that thread?

In the process of moving the thread to Tartans & Heraldry the thread was somehow deleted and unable to be recovered. We are still trying to determine how this problem arose.
Moski graciously reposted for us.

Not precisely a "clan" prohibition but if you check the recent thread about the "rabbinical tartan" that's another one that is restricted in its use.

There are no prohibitions in the states that ended on July 4, 1776 as long as you can buy it you can wear it here. Honor and respect are things you and you alone must decide upon.

I wear Campbel of Argyle (Modern) tartan but unfortunatley the only one really available is not a recognised tartan. One of the previous clan chiefs had a yellow pattern added but he was the only one that wore it at that time to distinguish himslef from the rest of the clan. It has never been registered but has been adpoted by tartan makers and now very common.
