MacDonald Of Clanranald Tartan

[BoldHighlander]

Speaking as a Clanranald MacDonald myself, I am always a little giddy when non clansmen are attracted enough to the tartan to wear it, proud. You've my blessing.

While I'm not a Clanranald, I am a MacDonald, and agree with Xman. It's a very nice tartan, so wear it and enjoy it.

Just don't do anything to sully our good names.

As a MacRanald of the Keppoch branch of Macdonell's/Macdonald's, I'm with my Macdonald cousins on this. There is no reason why you cannot wear just about any of the Clan Donald tartans that take your fancy.

All any of us ask is learn a wee bit about the history of the tartan/family/clan you are wearing, since you will no doubt be asked by someone "what tartan is that /why are you wearing it?".....especially *if* your in Campbell Country!

Your point is well made Terry. Without rehashing all the detail I ordered a kilt in a tartan that the mill ran short on and was offered the MacPherson as an option. I really liked the tartan, but did take the time to read up as much as I could and also sent email to the clan secretary seeking their permission. I think it is important to have some basis of understanding to be respectful and broadens your knowledge.

As a McDonald I have no problem with wearing the MacDonald tartan.

I concur with the other Macdonalds....please wear it...I mean you cant go wrong with anything pertaining to the Clan Donald.

I fully concur with Rocky, I wear it in the very heart of Campbell country most days of the week, and furthermore the Duchess still speaks to me
