Baird tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Baird.
The Register says this sett is first recorded in Johnston's work of 1906. Early samples show the triple stripes in red, though today they are usually woven in purple. The Register gives no date for the version it lists.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Baird” — 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.
