Cameron of Erracht tartan

Other sett of Clan Cameron.

Designed for the Cameron Highlanders, raised by Alan Cameron of Erracht in 1793. The Register classes it as a military tartan and states plainly that it was never adopted by the clan.

Thread count

G/16 R2 G2 R6 G32 K32 R2 B32 R6 B16 Y/4

Each letter is a colour and each number a count of threads. The slashes mark the pivots: the pattern runs to the end, then reverses back on itself.

Colours

  • G — Green
  • R — Red
  • K — Black
  • B — Blue
  • Y — Yellow

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 “Cameron of Erracht” — 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 Cameron range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
