Slowburn, you may want to use the forum's search feature for the Act of Proscription and, in particular, the thread on whether or not tartan was, per se, ever banned. Figheadair, by the way, is the principal historian for the Scottish Tartans Authority; he and Matt Newsome, the curator of the Scottish Tartans Museum, are two of several exceptionally knowledgeable tartan historians we are fortunate to have on XMarks.
