Chisholm tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Chisholm.
The Register records this sett as it appears in James Grant's 1886 book on the clan tartans. It is close to a sample held by the Highland Society of London, which dates from 1815.

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 “Chisholm” — 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.
