Cockburn Old Pattern tartan
Other sett of Clan Cockburn.
The Register describes this as taken from a Museum of Antiquities specimen, possibly woven by Wilsons. It halves the thread count to show the full sett, and the 2002 date is the Register's.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Cockburn Old Pattern” — 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 Cockburn range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
