What tartan to wear?
I have searched to no end on what tartan I should wear. I realize I could realistically wear any tartan of my choosing, but I truly want to be historically accurate. What clan does McCormick belong to? I have seen Buchanan, MacLean, Maclaine of Lochbuie, the strathclyde clans, and Ulster Ireland. While my family did move into Ireland, I know we started in Scotland. As far back as I can find is the Late 1600's and my 8th great grandfather who spelled his name MacCormaic, was born in Carsphairn. His son, moved to Ulster and eventually we ended up in Cork and then Claire, before coming to the US. I know 100% that we were in the highlands at some point though because my genetic Y clade haplogroup is the group that is still absolutely the closest to the Pictish peoples that currently exists. Can someone please help me as to what Tartan I should wear and what clan I am a sept of? I truly am not searching for a generic tartan. I truly want the tartan of my heritage. Thank you greatly in advance for any help you can provide.
