With respect, it seems as if you may have all ready answered your own question.
It seems like you have been able to develop a reasonable justification to wear that particular tartan.

But if I may play devil's advocate for a moment, is your desire to wear this tartan to pay respect to the MacGashan branch, or is it that you have found a tartan you would like to wear, and have developed a justification for doing so?

Neither choice is wrong, of course and I mean no disrespect by asking.
Yes I've been asking myself the same question !
