Cochrane tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Cochrane.
The 14th Earl of Dundonald altered this sett's proportions in 1974, and the 15th Earl reverted to the original grouping of lines and registered it with the Lord Lyon in 1984. It is the version currently recommended as the clan tartan.

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