Scottish clansmen would traditionally
wear a badge depicting the crest of their chief, in order to show their loyalty to the Clan. Clansmen consisted of both "native men,"
who had a direct blood relationship with their chief, as well as any others who had sought the protection of the clan. Today, a chief
can accept or deny whom he wants to into the Clan. Most Clans will accept anyone who will offer their allegiance, in addition to the
the traditional Septs and affliliations.
Today's meaning of Tartans as the plaid cloth which color and design despicts a Scottish
Clan comes from the 1800s. Highlanders loved tartans so much that they were identified with it, and upon the visit from King George
IV in 1822, the clans were invited to greet their King in "their proper clan tartan." Most did not have a clan tartan, and many were
created or renamed for that occasion. From this point on, the idea was established that in order to even be a proper tartan, it had
to be a named tartan, a clan tartan.
