I never heard that before.
Well technically every tartan can be worn by all. But what they are probably referring to is the huge number of clans that are associated with the Mackenzies. There was a thread in the past (I'm too tired to find it right now) that had probably about 50 different families that are connected to the MacKenzie's in one way or another. It has pretty much become a universal tartan. I actually am about 50% MacKenzie for real. My grandmother's maiden name was MacKenzie. I do acknowledge that the MacKenzie tartan has become far more widespread than most others.
