Cameron tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Cameron.
The red and green clan sett with a yellow line, first illustrated in the Vestiarium Scoticum of 1842. The Register adds that it may derive from a tartan worn by the MacFees, who were closely tied to Lochaber.

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