Tobus, I think that's a bit strong me ol' mate. I think it is less elitism and snobbery and more personal choice. As one who wears a number of different tartans, some of which I have no connection to, I wear what I like but I don't decry those who choose not to go with this and only wear a single tartan. If an individual is only comfortable in the one sett they have as much right as any to wear only that. It's a choice. Why wear something that makes you feel uncomfortable?

Everyone is free to express an opinion and the reasons why it was arrived at. It's not about policing, it's about the freedom to choose. There are no laws governing the vast majority of tartans and if we don't agree with another man's conclusions we don't have to pay any heed. Surely?
