Barclay tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Barclay.
The Register says the Sobieski Stewarts recorded this sett in their Vestiarium Scoticum of 1842. It also appears, labelled simply Barclay, in J. Claude's pattern book Clans Originaux of 1880.

Shades follow the Register's palette for this entry. Woven cloth varies by mill and by colourway.
Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Barclay” — 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.

Our own Barclay range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
