I have a question that's been bugging me. It has never been actually expressed, that I am aware of:

Which kilt tartans, does a person actually have a claim to wear?? Is it strictly a family history thing, or, an association-thing? Tradtionally, do you have the right to wear any tartan which you fancy?? I am aware that in America, we tend to wear what we fancy, for the most part......

For example, I can wear my father's tartan, and my Mother's tartan. Can I also go back multiple generations, and wear Grand parent's and Great Grandparent's tartans? What about a military association of one of my ancestors? As a Buchanan, do I have the right to wear the Queens Own Regimental Cameron, if a relative Died at Dunkirk, wearing the same tartan (as an example)?
