Cumming tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Cumming.
The Register records this sett from the 1819 pattern books of Wilsons of Bannockburn, the Stirling weaving firm. No other date is given, and the Register does not say who first wore it.

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 “Cumming” — 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 Cumming range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
