Cockburn tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Cockburn.
The Register says this is the version modern weavers commonly accept as Cockburn. It traces the pattern to the W & A K Johnson twin volume set of 1906.

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