The MacLeod of Harris/Modern Hunting MacLeod tartan (and its hunting and muted variations):


and the Dress/MacLeod of Lewis


are not interchangeable, however. MacLeod of Harris and MacLeod of Lewis are two different branches of Clan MacLeod, with different tartans, badges, mottos, separate chiefs, etc.

My family, for example, is associate only with MacLeod of Harris. We don't/can't wear the Dress MacLeod of Lewis tartan, which is fine by me. I think it's a little garish.
