May I ask which tartans are "Restricted"?
As in, I thought only the Balmoral was... any enlightenment would be appreciated.
J C Thompson in his wee book; "So you're going to wear the kilt!"
..... says there is no such thing as a 'right' to wear any tartan;
That there there are three kinds of rights, Legal, Moral, and divine.
(as in, the divine right of Kings)
...and goes on to say that since it has never been suggested that any use of tartan is illegal, immoral, or ungodly, it is meaningless to talk of anybody's right to any tartan.
As a proviso though, I would say any tartan should be worn with respect, and worn well.
Just got mi first kilt, and I'm from N of Engalnd as well, Corden!
Mine's a Mackenzie, or you could say Seaforth or HLI I suppose.
I took the advice of the old (Inverness??) kiltmaker;
"Wear what you like! After all, there are no tartan police!"
