Campbell of Breadalbane tartan
Other sett of Clan Campbell.
The sett of the Breadalbane branch, marked by yellow lines on the green. The Register records a thread count given by James Logan in 1831 and plates in Smibert (1850) and later collections. The Clan Campbell Society lists it among the tartans approved by the chief.

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