Thanks for doing this. Can you explain why some clans have so many tartans? For example, part of my family are Thompson’s, and there seem to be about eight of them - different colours, some ‘modern,’ some ‘modern dress.’ Is there a specific time to wear or display one over another? And how modern are the modern ones?

Wow thanks for the research info! I don’t know much about our family beyond tracing from Canada to Scotland.

And yeah, I just picked the colour that worked best for our decor at the time.
