Campbell tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Campbell.
The Register dates this sett to 1725, when it was appointed for the Highland Independent Companies, and later the Black Watch. It notes that Campbells may well have worn it earlier, and that the Duke of Argyll wears and has approved it. Black Watch is the same sett dyed in darker shades.

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