Nice Point Todd. I've seen a bit of controversy around the subject of family tartan wearing, specifically whether one should over step the boundries of surname. But you point out that one would be horoning their kin by wearing a tartan from someone on their mother's side of the family tree.

I agree whole heartedly. While I don't foresee myself wearing a tartan not associated with my surname or affiliated organization, I believe that we should all feel free to wear whichever ancestrial tartan we feel inspired to honor.
