Who owns (or doesn't own) a kilt in their 'own' tartan?

Acouple of my kilts are Anderson, but my branch of the family is from Sweden. I also wear Gordon for my great-great grandmother who was a Gordon and I have a kilt in McCarthy because I have some McCarthy ancestry from County Cork. I hope to add a County Cork tartan to the collection. I also have an Xmarks kilt. I wear a newly created tartan that my sensai Chevalier Lord Douglas Bailey has created for his family and sword scholars to wear. So, while I do feel free to wear most Tartans at will, all of my choices do have some ancestral or affiliation connection.

Two at present:

Fitzgerald ancient
Buchanan weathered (MacGibbon sept)
I have a tartan designed by Jeff Fitzsimmons and Matt Newsome which is being registered as "Fitzgibbon" (very cool). Matt will make a box pleat later in the year for me.

I don't happen to have any clan tartans asI only have one Scottish ancestor in my family tree, a Boxell from the lowlands; and I don't want to pay a ton of money for the few places that have it. I do have a rather nice Irish heritage kilt though, which represents all of my non Scotch and Native American ancestory. I would like to get a Connaught provience tartan though at some point if I could find one at a reasonable price, as thats my great-grandparents home provience(home counties were Galway, Roscommon, and Clare). Well, enough rambeling here. Later everyone.

Slainte,
