Frank,
People wear tartans with no excuse whatsoever. It is very reasonable to celebrate your Clan Wallace connection. Laudable, even. Of course, you have to consider the source of this advice, someone with Scottish, Welsh, Irish, Nordic and (shudders and spits it out) English heritage, and takes every opportunity to celebrate all of them.

I have a completely different but related question. My most recent full Scot ancestor was my Grandmother Campbell. Accordingly I started out with a very inexpensive Black Watch kilt, as it is now accepted by the clan leader (it wasn't always). I hope to soon get a PV kilt from USA Kilts in Ancient Campbell. Thing is, my grandmother's mother was a full blooded Scot of the Clan Wallace. Is it reasonable to celebrate that ancestry too isn't it, even if I never knew the woman?

Thanks for any advice. I know for the most part we can feel comfortable doing about anything we want, I'm just curious about precedence. There are some beautiful Wallace tartans!
