I guess to be honest I would like a red based tartan and so I have looked at other lines to find one that would fit. Maclean of Argyl is my best connection but it is a ways back. I should probably just say to heck with the association. It is what it is.

thanks for helping me figure it out

Sorry duffy, I'm a bit confused. Are you looking to identify which clan you would most naturally be a member of, or are you trying to justify the wearing of a specific color tartan that you like? If it's the latter, there are a number of non-clan tartans that are red based.
