Dalziel (1822 sett) tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Dalziel.
The Register dates this sett to 1822 and says its basic form was used for a 'George IV' tartan made for the King's visit that year. When James Logan published it as Dalzell, Wilsons of Bannockburn wrote that they knew the pattern as the George IV tartan. The Register also notes it is similar to Munro.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Dalziel (1822 sett)” — and say which colourway you want. “Modern” is dark and strong, “ancient” is lighter, “weathered” is muted. The sett is the same in each.
