Campbell of Cawdor tartan
Other sett of Clan Campbell.
One of Wilsons of Bannockburn's variations on the military sett, with azure and red lines. The Register says it began as a numbered pattern, was sold as 'Argyle' from 1798, and was first called Campbell of Cawdor in print in 1850. It is authorised by the chief.

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