Baird (Modern) tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan Baird.
Dated 1880 in the Register, with the same early record of 1906 and the same note that the stripes were once red and are now purple. The Register adds that historically this is simply 'Baird', but the clan's own website calls it Baird Hunting.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Baird (Modern)” — and say which colourway you want. “Modern” is dark and strong, “ancient” is lighter, “weathered” is muted. The sett is the same in each.
We are choosing retailers we trust and will list them here soon.
Wear the colours
Our own Baird range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
