It is said to be appropriate for all subjects of Elizabeth II to wear the Royal Stewart tartan [citation needed], much in the same way that clansmen may wear the tartan of their clan chief. Officially, the tartan is worn by the pipers of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards and the Scots Guards, as well as a select few civilian groups. The Queen's Bands (of Queen's University) wear the tartan as part of their official uniforms. So too do the Winnipeg Police Pipe Band. The tartan may also be worn by members who took part in a patrol leaders training course.

In the late 1970s the Royal Stewart tartan became popular in punk fashion, possibly because of the influence of Walter "Wattie Buchan" frontman of The Exploited who wore various tartans due in part to his Scottish heritage. The tartan had become well known in motor racing circles a decade earlier, as three-time Formula One World Champion Jackie Stewart used a distinctive band of Royal Stewart tartan around his crash helmet.
